Suffocating.
That’s it.
My chest is drowning
In something that hasn’t dawned
Upon me yet.
Oh wait, crawl here.
I need to hear that heart beat behind your chest.
Don’t stop yet.
Baby, touch there, yes.
There…
Baby. Wait, I can’t breathe
I’m swallowing these words I need to speak!
Our lungs are filling up with that Black Death
And there’s fluid sealing me up
Spilling me up
Aren’t you there yet?
Come here. Calm down. Relax, and breathe.
Baby, feel me there. Rightthere.
We haven’t got it just yet.
Choking me,
These words are caving down upon my chest
Can’t get it out, I can’t get them out!
No
Baby. Don’t stop. We’re almost there
But not quite yet.
