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.
