Constriction So tight that it is suffocating my conviction I can feel the knot, but my eyes can not find the chain Is it around my neck, heart, or brain Hysteria is dripping from my pores That ******* anchor is dragging me to the ocean floor Where is it tethered Why am I breaking This isn't even the worst storm I've weathered My heart quakes to the sound of the deck the chain is raking Rapidity I'm being consumed by my own stupidity Grip my hands even if the fingers you clinch crack Because once I go under, I'll never come back To whom am I even giving this commmand You are back in the forest loving the land Needed elsewhere was your love, you had no room left to care For that reason is why this is my burden to bare Sinking Oxygen fleeting, only a few moments left of thinking No hope of those tender hands reaching me Endless gravity escorting me to the abyss Only regret is that we couldn't share one last cup of tea Stay ignorant of my fate because I am nothing of worth to miss
