Suffocation is the only word to describe this feeling
It's heavy in my heart
It's filling up my lungs
It's your lead hand on my throat
It's the words clogging my windpipe
It's the betrayal that holds me under
This is the purest form of suffocation

Your kisses
felt like spider bites
at the end,
injecting poison
to numb me
from inevitable
pain.

Maybe if I bite my lips ******
and claw at my skin
then walk on the street naked,
you'll speak to me.

Come closer.
I won't bite.
Take that back.
Yes I will.
If you want me to.
