Best Poems Written by Samantha Romo

Suffocated

Suffocated.
My air line had been cut.
My heart pounding,
blood racing through my every vein.
My hand stiffend,
mind blocked from all other thoughts.
Gasping, grasping,
i fight my way back.
My eyes blood shot, exhausted.
Finally, a breath,
one inhail was all it took.
i can still feel his hands,
groaping my neck
reaching for the control.
A single inhail was all it took,
enough to run away,
his handprints remain,
staining my neck,
a reminder of past times,
to learn
a caution sign 
never to return.
I can still see the imprint he left,
the thumb that once grazed my collar bone,
nails digging into my heart.
Scarring my soul.
