Suffocating

Sometimes I can't breathe.

There's air in my lungs,

But I can't feel it,

Can't reach it.

I'm suffocating.

Sometimes, my arms hurt.

It's not the good kind of pain,

But I can't help it,

Can't stop it.

I'm suffocating.

More than often, I'm worried.

Worried about the silence,

Worried about the cries for help,

I can do nothing about it.

I'm suffocating.

More than often, I'm afraid.

Afraid of the fire burning and burning,

Afraid of the unsaid,

I can taste the ashes.

I'm suffocating.

Always, I love.

I love, love love, more than life itself,

I'm overwhelmed,

I'm a burden.

I'm suffocating.

Always, I'm lost.

Is it a dream or reality,

What can I do about it,

I don't know what I am.

I'm suffocating.

I'm suffocating.

There's air in my lungs,

Can't reach it,

Can't feel it.

I can't breathe.
