I can’t breathe

I can’t breathe.

***

Not anymore.

________________

I’m suffocated

by the

darkness.

It closes in all around me,

with no escape.

***

________________

I’m drowning,

grasping for air

in the lies and falsifications.

They crush the air out of my lungs.

***

________________

I’m choked

by hate and malice.

The hate you gave so lovingly,

wraps its bony fingers around my neck

in a cold embrace

and squeezes.

again.
