Deafening

A room is filled with silence.
I am pressed against the air
     With no chance of escape
The air is heavy and slow, weighing down...
My arm extends (slowly) to grasp at
An object I cannot see
     Due to the sheer density in the room
Lethargically, I blink in order to
Stay awake.

The silence is deafening.

I cannot hear.

Is that why it's silent? Ears clogged
With nothing?

I'm losing the battle against the air
     So much for peace and quiet
