Suffocation

Constricted. Beaten. Broken. Abused.

Every one looking so amused.

My life tumbles to the ground,

Doesn't even make a sound.

I fall silent through the air,

No one knows or even cares.

 

Happiness brought to an end,

No time left for me to defend.

I'm lost without a home,

Living on the streets all alone.

My world destroyed by my bliss,

I couldn't see what was amiss.

Our life together wasn't perfect,

But our love seemed to make it worth it.

All the problems, all the pain,

Slowly driving me insane.

 

Until the day that I lost it all.

That's the day I began to fall.

That's the day, while falling through the air,

I realized what, was never really there.

After I had been, so abused and mistreated,

I never really came back, my heart retreated.

 

My heart wasn't in it anymore

It was a ticking time bomb waiting to explore.

I'm moving on now, I'm ready to quit.

I'm sorry we ended like this but I will admit,

I do and will always love you,

A part of me will miss you too.

On the edge of reality, balled up and curled,

I suffocated in my bliss, my own little world...
