Suffocating Poems

Suffocating Act of Living

Breath becomes a fight,
World's weight presses on the chest,
Longing to break free.

The Suffocating Pressure

Anxiety. 
A feeling that overwhelms your senses.
Blood pressure rising. Breathing becoming uncontrolled. You feel it in your chest, a pressure so heavy you can’t help but give in. A pressure that consumes your mind, thoughts,your body. A feeling that takes over your senses. You feel in within yourself. Tasting the bitterness on your tongue. Choking

Suffocating Sunflowers

a river raging
suffocating sunflowers   
ripping up the roots 

Under the suffocating veil of dusk, where shadows whisper forgotten tales to the wind

Under the suffocating veil of dusk, where shadows whisper forgotten tales to the wind,
I wander the labyrinth of thoughts, a traveler in the silent chaos of my mind.
Romania stands immune to all my calls, a land where the poet’s voice is an echo lost in the vastness,
Its people, deaf to the language of the poet's

Darling

Is there anything left to say at all. 
Windows open shutters drawn I swear I'm not lying to you. 
Breakfast is ready downstairs. 
I sprinkled the slightest bit of sugar onto your oats. 
Does that please you, darling? 
Or shall I run to the store for cereal instead. 
But, laugh please, Mother likes to see

Drowning

Suffocating
By my own hands.
Falling apart,
I’m my own demise.

When last did I breathe?
Why can’t I now?

Falling off 
The edge of the cliff,
Failure to grasp
Onto something;
anything.

Beneath the water
I plunge,
Sinking down.
Should have learned
How to swim
When I had the chance.

Lungs filling up
With water,
Air stolen from me
By the thieves 
Of the sea.

Shackles weigh me down,
To the bottom
Of the ocean.
Not a

The Song of Strom

There's this little fragile
Betwixt the escort.
Trying to understand
Their psyche,
Their interest.
Are they really the armours
Or the aviary?
And will the dust devil arrive,
Rising from our own silhouette,
Compressing the cage of ribs
With the bludgeon?
Illusion of something erroneous,
Or may be some nave.
Perfect guard,
Guarding the heart,
The cascade of truth
For the so called panoply,
Squeezing the heart out.
Every piece of the jigsaw

Suffocating

free at last, a sigh escaped the lonely void of space that engulfed them

Rest

I wish I could think
I wish I could cry
Not knowing if this is goodbye

The thoughts are racing
Dont know what I'm

Suffocating Love

I thank the stars for bringing me wishes. I say good morning to you in my evening. 
 I think about bad and you don't even think about leaving. I thank you for being beside me. Your Showing affection never neglecting my message. I'm holding your wishes so highly. Your essence your lessons established connections

Suffocating

I turned slowly to capture a glimpse of you
but  you disappeared and started  to fade 
Where are you?
My betrothed 
My one and only
I long for your touch
I am suffocating without you 
I can't breathe...no air...no air
My lungs are collapsing
Only you can save me  and become
what I need to survive this torment
Your love

Suffocating

  My mind feels so confused by all these thoughts needing  all of them to end 
I never thought I could get this far 
But even my own life didn't throw me a curve ball
At this moment I need to get up and maybe go for a drive to get help sadly no

Suffocating Me

Being in love with you,
Took all of my energy,
And I felt trapped.
Trying to be perfect for you,
Always putting all my effort,
In our relationship,
And you never gave enough.
But for me,
It took everything out of me.
And drained my strength.
Now, I’m tired,
Of trying to love you,
And making you happy!
I’m not fighting for our love,
When you won’t put anything

Suffocating Thoughts

The lack of breath
Struggling
The touch of fingers
Choking

My bones are cold
Heart breaking

Where do we find the strength
To be strong
And to fight

Scars
Traumas
Fears
Living but not alive

How do we live
To ensure making the best of life?

Suffocating a Gasp For Breath

My feet are stuck in the mire 
I struggle but cannot free myself
As the mud gets higher and higher.

And the more I struggle and fight
The deeper I go
Down into the murky suffocating
Depths below.

The mud rises now rises up to my waist
I panic arms aloft and  let out a primal scream
''Help me''!!!!!!
In haste
But no one
