Suffocate

Do you know what it's like to suffocate?

That asphyxiating feeling dragging you down in a sea of despair..

Choking you until you can feel your lungs swelling with water..

That blistering, broiling feeling, as your lungs are begging you for air..

That's what it's like to be captivated by someone like you..

You strangle me until I can't breathe..

The world is slowly fading away, darkening by the millisecond..

You see that I'm unconscious, from the lack of oxygen..

This makes you break into a smirk.

It makes you have this empowering and thrilling feeling..

To know that you can have such an lingering power over me..

I don't know how to leave...I have a deadly obsession with you..

You're toxic..

You are the poison I drink every
morning..

You're the cancer, that nibbles away at my
heart..

But I can't help but to feel the need to
stay..

We have a pernicious
relationship..

I have to
go..

Because if I stay, I know it will end
maliciously...

So do you finally understand what it's like to suffocate?
