Suffocation

I dreamt of you last night
I felt strangled in my sleep
You loved me so fiercely
A feeling I didn't know
I ran from you
Just to keep my sanity
I realize each day the mistake I made
It suffocates me to the point of pain
You walked in the day 
I walked in the night
I was the dark 
And you were the light
I seek you again 
To atone for my sins
I know I'm not worthy
But live in the hope
Please accept my apology
So that I might feel again
Stop this suffocation
Help me remember how to breathe
