This is excellent. I love the word " squelching" lol. Don't think I have seen that being used in a poem before.

The word suffocating really stands out to me and expresses great power.

Good work.

Dark circles, I used to think that dark circles became dark circles because one didn't get enough sleep, but turns out that it can also be for getting too much. Or for other reasons such as aging is one. No wonder, young and adults have dark circles. Too many reasons.

Squelching also caught my attention.

I have dark circles around my eyes right now actually but that's because I need more sleep.

I love it hun, great images but it is quite sad actually. Does your hubby have dark rings around his eyes at the moment?
