As I lay here surrounded by the dark
I am paralyzed with fear and pain
I am unable to breath
Unable to move as I feel the pressure choking me
I try to scream; to cry out
But I am unheard
I struggle to free myself from the hold I’m in
But like quicksand I further sink
I feel my body panicking
I reach out in one final attempt to free myself
But the pressure overwhelms me
I feel myself slipping away
Accepting my fate
He whispers in my ear
“ I do this because I love you “
I inhale
“ you breath because I allow it “
I’m Paralyzed with fear and pain
