Suffocate

I try to run
and I try to scream
but I can't escape
my dreams are suffocating me.

My body is sweating
I try with all my might to flee
but I can't escape
these big arms imprison me

I'm getting dizzy
and then I smell a familiar scent
I try to beg and plea
and still I get no help

I see the one I love
squeezing my neck
I'm shocked to realize
that
this is not a dream.

It is indeed my love
trying
to suffocate me

Shocked, Bewildered
I look at him in amazement

I see a twinkle in his eyes
and in it I see the loathe
He squeezed a little tighter
and I gasp
to take my last breath

Before I left
I said to him
death would be a blessing
after finding out the one I love
actually hates me.

I hold your hands to my neck
and tell you to kill me
Nothing else you can do
can possibly hurt me

I squeezed your hands tighter
as I closed my eyes
While you the one I love
suffocates me
and takes my life....
