Suffocation

Closing around me so tight

Squeezing the life out of me

Let me breathe 

That one more inhale of sweet air

Just one more before I go

Impulse causes me to lash out

But all I scratch at is the empty darkness 

My eyes are drifting

My lungs screaming

Just when the last shred of my soul leaves

Someone heaves me up into the warmth

Can't breathe, yet my soul rushes back

The scent is sweet

The embrace so safe

Hold me tight

Hold me right 

And revived me you have

Given me another life

I've indebted my soul to you

My cheeks flush pink

My eyes glaze over

And just as I'm about to kiss

You let go once again

And I'm flying through air

Ready to suffocate again..

<..............>

The tightness around you is the warmth of a blanket,

Caressing your skin, squeezing teasefully,

Let me be your respirator,

If you go, I go with you,

Subdue your impulse and let me be your therapy,

And you'll see the light at the end of the road,

Focus your eyes on my face,

You don't need them to drift anywhere else,

Scream all you want, then watch my thoughts...soothe your throat,

I'll hold your soul to the ground,

Turn around every frown, I won't let you drown,

I'll hold you tight,

I'll hold you right,

Just do one thing for me,

Don't give up this fight!

For I am right beside you,

Even when you feel alone 

Lending a comfortable hand,

Bringing a drop of water in your world of sand,

All you need is a strand,

Of hope,

Reigniting the dreams and passions you had,

Making you realize that wanting your own desires is not bad,

Protecting your deepest thoughts in your mind, 

You an open book, and I your bind.
