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.
