i'm suffocating
i could feel your hands
threaded onto my neck

and i'm gasping
for a chance
to breath

i could see your smile
i could hear your laugh

you probably think
it's funny

as you pull your knife
out of your pocket
and graze it on my wrists

you tell me
it's just a joke

then stab my heart
double stab
triple stab

like this was some sort
of video game

and my heart
is left trying
to collect it's blood

but my arteries
are spewing out tears

gushing on my chest
dark and ugly

if this is what dying felt like
i wish you would just hurry up

but i was ripped
of my lungs

while watching
my heart be the poison
of people's drinks

and as i close my eyes
waiting for my last breath
before death

i hear you whisper

"don't take me too seriously".
