Axe Me How

I can only slightly breathe again The strength of your oxygen chokes the air from in me. I can only slightly defend Myself from you and you won’t let me be. I keep trying to run but my feet are concrete. My legs can’t seem to keep up and my mind won’t shut off. I keep replaying the nightmare in my mind And I can’t seem to stop asking how you were that guy. My hands are tied in knots I keep trying to get out, but it hurts a lot. And I finally feel like I can get free. And you pull me back in and say “You can’t live without me. “ I twist my arm free of the rope and out of your grasp. And I see that There is this axe that can set me free. All it requires is a little reach. I try to grab it in my hands And I try to swing but I honestly don’t know how to cut down the darn tree.
