| LAST BREATH... | ||||||||||||
| I am choking. Your claws are digging into my skin, And I scream for you to let go but you do not hear. I am always choking. The hands of millions reach out to stroke my throat, But I feel each finger like a knifewound to the heart. I am choking. Life squashing life inside of me, As the pressure builds up to the point of no return. I am always choking. I feel the weight upon my chest, Of problems unsolved, crushing my breath in my lungs. I am choking. Drowning in my own spit, I can only gurgle strainedly in despair. I am always choking. My own body works against me, And my mind grips to my last breath as it floats on the wind. |
