    I clung to you. 
    
                          
    My youth—like a snake—
    
                          
    Tightening around my throat—
    
                          
    I choke on my childhood.
    
                          
    But you, you, you—
    
                          
    Another snake—
    
                          
    Tighten your arms around me
    
                          
    And squeeze until my lungs give way
    
                          
    And I breathe like I did as a child.
