Suffocation

30 10 5
                                    

There are nights where
my lungs feel constricted,

so much that I feel the need
to reach out for air to breathe,

where my tears are suffocating,
my emotions irrational
and deprecating.

On nights like these
my lonely heart weeps
for a mere touch
upon my cheek,

for soft spoken words
of comfort,

to feel the steady beat
of your heart
setting my rapid one
at ease.

~L.Y
