Suffocating

Drowning in a bag full of waterless tears,
  My lungs screaming in protest,
As I feebly try to call out for help,
  The corners of my vision are slowly slipping away,
As I fight to stay awake,
  A part of my mind knowing it is useless,
Knowing the end was near,
  I willingly close my eyes,
Giving in to the fate forced upon me,
  Until his face fills my mind,
The memory of him surrounding me like a warm blanket,
  So I struggle on,
Aching to see him one more time,
  So I fight to stay alive,
Suffocating untl he fids me again.
