Choking on Air

Choking on Air
by: Michael Buckley

I'm suffocating
choking on air
But I can see you
watching me there

Your artificial smile
full of ignorance
As if death
has no significance

If I had the guts
I'd bring it to an end
And finally stop
This constant downward trend

I'd open up my scars
Once more
To knock upon
Deaths darkened door

I'd love to fix it
If I could
Apply the solution
If you would

But I wouldn't know
Where to start
Piecing together
My broken heart

Try and cut out the rumors
Remove the decay
Make all the pain
Finally go away

Give into my demons
Give into urge
I'm giving in
And approaching the verge

A moment of pain
A moment of bliss
A small crimson trail
Follows your kiss

Bleed out the pain
In one final pass
Rid it of my being
In a coffin of glass

So next time you see me
The fight won't be fair
Cause all I'll be doing
Is choking on air
