Breathless

This poem speaks of many elements from my past; both emotionally and physically. 
==============================================

I ran the length
a trench
within my mind

Shattered thoughts
strewn about
never would I find

Motionless, as still
as fear
breathless
death was near

Crawling now
along the pit
water deep to lips
gasping, listening
motionless
breathless,
fearing that I would slip

Without a breeze
no thoughts to cleanse
a mind, so deep in mud

Lay within the trench
I dug,
breathless
gasping for a nudge
