"no, 
i know how you play
all your little games
with my head,"
you breathed out, 
almost as if you couldn't
breathe at all. 

she laughed, 
deep 
and dark,
and filled with humor, 
while your heart 
skipped a beat
it shouldn't have
skipped. 

"you're dying, 
you know."
she was telling you, 
laughing even louder now
as you choked again
and again
and 
a g a i n .

unable to breathe
you began to fall inside
and all your
little pieces
began 
to 
crumble
to 
the 
ground.
