"Choking on my Tears"

I'm choking on my tears and drowning in my sorrow. My screams are not heard for they are nothing but soft whispers in a world full of screaming voices. My heart cannot beat for it has been battered and bruised. My lungs are filled with a toxic poison called air and every time I take a breath I'm reminded that you're not here with me and it makes me want to stop breathing altogether. I cannot eat for my stomach is in a twisted position at the thought of you not being here, and I can only fathom what it's like to want to eat again. I'm a ghost of who I ones was with my haunted eyes and my dark expression. I thought you could save me but you're the one leading me to my own destruction. I thought I could get over you but turns out the one thing that I love is destroying me and there is not a thing I can do to stop it. You are a beautiful hurricane. All I can do is watch as you take me piece by piece and destroy me until I am nothing more than a skeleton inside of a coffin. The sickening stench of my sorrow from my last screams for help are so powerful and overwhelming that its enough to rattle the very bones in your body with an overwhelming sense of guilt as you begin realize the extent of destruction you have caused to me.
