i'm suffocating
i could feel your hands
threaded onto my neckand i'm gasping
for a chance
to breathi could see your smile
i could hear your laughyou probably think
it's funnyas you pull your knife
out of your pocket
and graze it on my wristsyou tell me
it's just a jokethen stab my heart
double stab
triple stablike this was some sort
of video gameand my heart
is left trying
to collect it's bloodbut my arteries
are spewing out tearsgushing on my chest
dark and uglyif this is what dying felt like
i wish you would just hurry upbut i was ripped
of my lungswhile watching
my heart be the poison
of people's drinksand as i close my eyes
waiting for my last breath
before deathi hear you whisper
"don't take me too seriously".
