Suffocating

Suffocating deep within
Falling deeper into sin

Wanting quickly to leave this place
To allow my soul to suspend in space

Looking hard for my blade
To make this pain quickly fade

My heartbeat quickening with each pace
As I stare death in its nonexistent face

Daring him to bring it on
Knowing that I’m already to far gone

For I’ve already ended my time
So the big man is really far from my depleting mind

My breath grows shallow and my skin pale
As the thought finally occurred I’m going to hell

So as I bleed covering the floor
My heartbeat depleted as I laid dead on the floor

Such a shame that it came to this
But I highly doubt I’ll be who they miss.
