Suffocation

I ripped the stuffing from my bed 

and stuffed the cotton in my mouth

I tried to get rid of the taste from my mouth

I dumped a bottle of  bleach onto my skin to get rid of the scent

I painted over the walls to cover up the evidence.

I tacked the holes in the wall

that you punched through.

I scrubbed my hands until every trace was gone.

I sunk into my mattress

and let the springs dig into my skin

I let the foam absorb into my mind

I let the cotton clog my throat

I let the blood seep into the carpet

along with my soul

I tried to climb out 

But my bed swallowed me .....
