Suffocation

I cannot feel, I cannot breathe.
suffocation. the utter disappointment
of a slow unavoidable death. the air
I have left escapes in staggered
agonized breathes. my mind screams
to live but my body tells me otherwise.
suffocation. the act of a heart laying
helpless in the street. straining to
live but unable to love. suffocation.
