Best Suffocate Poems
velvet tears slip down my cheek.
a gentle cry.
and the wet drops seep in the corners of my mouth
until
my lungs are full of my own salty, crystalline tears,
bringing buoyancy to boats that sail inside my veins.
as a rule, I try not to cry.
if a single tear is shed, who is to say that another will not follow?
compelling the rest to join
until I’ve immersed myself in the sea I’ve incepted,
and soon
all I see are the opalescent peaks of water colliding with my skin.

Smoke fills the car
As you gasp for one last breath.
Unable to give your lungs
That much needed fresh air.
You slowly fade into the blackness.
As much as you wanted this, your body fights on.
Balancing on life's tightrope, you teeter
Between consciousness and the void of nothingness.
What will mom think?
Will she blame herself for not seeing the signs?
Those brief moments of situational-awareness
Are starting to get further and further apart.
Maybe breaking the key off in the ignition, wasn't so smart.

Suffocate this monster come,
Come!
Touch me, inhabit me,
Protect me like a precious wine.
Kiss me, breathe me,
Hold me tight.
What I would not endure, to travel the length your body one more time.
I would drown in waves that come to cool this fever that I have for you.
I stand naked on icebergs,
your gaze warms me like the sun.
If my pain were blood it would flood the rivers
It would stain mountain peaks,
I soar over the mountains, the lakes, the seas, the moon,
searching,
longing,
Hungry for your eyes.
Breathe love into me one more time.
I give the sea my tears to drink
Tears from my cheeks like raindrops falling
It is raining in my heart,
My tears are the ink with which I write.
Suffocate this monster come,
cover me like the sand covers the beaches,
Keep me warm.
Love’s violent thunderstorm,
Has left me numb.
Scatter your kisses soft and warm.
Strange recipe of fate
It takes me on a journey.
I am surrounded by nothingness
Electric atmosphere
the silence speaks
Nostalgic for your eyes.
Suffocate this monster, come.

She told me I should do this and that but everytime I called on her she always turned
her back. I get it now I see now you never really loved me, your ashamed of me and this
has been way before u found out that I was into girls. You would tell me all the time how
you wish my stomach would go away, but I am me and you are you. I bet just for one day
you couldnt walk a mile in my shoes..... All thee things you put me thru and all the times I
depended on you, I wonder how you would feel if the rest of your kids turned their backs
on you too. The feeling of neglect and mental abuse from you, in the back of my mind there
are so many devious things I could do to you, but I am not going to put my hands on you
because I know there will be plenty of nights that you will cry the blues.....

Everyday I die a little more inside,
But my heart is on my sleeve,
So tears that pour from it drip,
Until I’m gasping for air, I’m drowning
As life moves forward
Im left searching through memories
Self analyzing, criticizing, profiling
Demoralized by how I got here.
Who was I? Who did I let ruin my life?
Anxiety and depression I had never met
Yet somehow they became all I knew.
I’ve awaken but to what reality?
Nightmares have became real
Happiness is all but a dream.
When I shut my eyes all I see is you.
But when they open the emptiness of the world around me closes in, I can’t breathe.

accumulation
choking the room bitterly
an embarrassment
carefully tromping through it
side-stepping junk gingerly
My pack rack eye-tis
surrounds me untidily
disturbing eyesore
jumping over largest pile
not inviting company

So far when you so close is how I feel
United can’t say we are
For you I would do anything
Forget all those haters
Occasionally they are just going to have to get over it
Can you resist the feeling of been apart
Are you not feeling like you can’t breathe
Tel me girl tell me you love and miss me
Every day I think of you please let’s get together

It’s tight no room to breathe
Baby brother crying
Big bro and friends getting high
Sister’s tucked away in her room with her boyfriend
Always being sent home from school
Being high is the new norm
And his mom
Her mother
She’s the mom who regularly sniffles like she has a cold
Sometimes he wonders if she even knows her role
He can’t recollect the last time he ate a sizzling meal
or when she bought him clothes
One thing is for sure,
He definitely comprehends her leaving and going
When he’s not being victimized or yelled at,
His happiness is non-existent
Not saying that he doesn’t love his mother
Right now love is his father who is irrelevant
His home very unstable
My sentiments
for they are unable

With you it doesn’t ever matter
Who’s wrong or who’s right
You will purposefully cause trouble
Just to pick a stupid fight
On word will set you off
And then you push with all your might
You put your hands around my neck
I feel my throat get so tight
I kick and scream and beg
For you to let go of your grip
My face turns black and blue
I feel my whole body start to slip
You throw me to the ground
It’s my shirt that you rip
I just barely see the knife
But notice my blood start to drip
You say you never forgave me
For the things I said and did
You hated every ounce of me
Since I had our first kid
You’re a psychopath in a can
And I opened the lid
When I said goodbye to you
It was my life that I bid

Our energy has caused us all to exhilarate,
Once all the Trump supports will suffocate,
They have resigned;
Removed from mind,
While what they do with devil is to negotiate.

Limerick
"Thinking outside of the box keeps you from suffocating inside of one."Matshona Dhliwayo
Thinking Outside Of The Box-buzzwords
The four tall walls
Suffocate me.
I can no longer,
Breathe.
I kick and scream and cry
I need the light
Please, I beg.
Oh, I beg.
Rocking in the corner,
I see the light I so crave
I run and run and run
Never looking back again
Once the light is hitting every part of me
Only then I realized
I'm outside of the box
And the four tall walls collapsed to nothing

Seep slowly into my core
it’s you I desperately adore
filling my soul with wonder.
Suffocate me on this night
ominous mist of dark delight
deep trance I’ve fallen under.
Slowly blind me with your lies
so surely sweet intention dies
this mind is cast asunder.
Does this truly thus portend
an aching dying sorry end?
your spell I’ve fallen under.
Thus my promise laid to waste
surely chasing illusions taste
this love casts hope asunder.
This lying love screams disdain
echoes loudly her death refrain
torments my soul with wonder.

Rhyme
In the end it was the smoke that brought them down.
The flames they could see, the fire they could hear,
so they ran and ran until they could run no more.
Smoke was everywhere and from within its grasp
they could no longer see a way to the air.
The harder they ran the harder they breathed
and the more the smoke consumed them,
until at last they surrendered and lay down
and the smoke covered them and tucked them in
and brought to them the gift of dreams
and the sleep of a longer night.

Magazines suffocate me in my sleep
They chase me down, they make me weep.
They cover my mouth, I cannot breathe.
They call me names, they will not leave.
Read me! Each demands in a haughty way.
They taunt me in my dreams all day.
They press up against my mouth and nose.
They whip me with a garden hose.
They chase me down, they spit me out.
They scream and throw, they laugh and pout.
Magazines in my mind, and sometimes my hair.
They will not leave, they travel in air.
I know they want to be read, I truly do.
But they cause me heartache, they make me blue.
If these dhramned magazines would please go away
I know my daydreams would come back and stay.
