The Heartbreak Choke

You dont see it coming

no one ever does

but its only a swallow away

so count them silently

and hold them dear

because the next one comin

you should fear

you will know when it comes

and know so clear

that this one coming

is your last

because heartbreak grabs you

hard around your throat

and there is no way to escape

so you just choke

and you can wish for death 

and it's not coming

and that my friend is

The Heartbreak Choke

I guess we all experience heartbreak from time to time and it does feel like this. Nice write.
