The Cold Chain

A dimly lit gothic room with a wooden chair beneath a small window, a chain coiled on the cracked floor, and a faintly gleaming razor resting on a shelf behind.

If chains can gleam, do they still bind the soul?

His eyes searched,
exploring the dim room,
scanning shadows for something to ease pain.

His gaze found
a blade upon the shelf,
gleaming silver in the muted air.

His heart lurched,
fluttering at the thought now,
imagining release from the cold chain.

H, the silence before surrender
