Noose around my neck

Suffocating

Standing upon this gallows deck

Agonizing

With this noose around my neck

Gasping

Preparing for my life’s final trek

Harsh

With a noose around my neck

Smothering

An emotional wreck

Uncomfortable

As they tighten the noose around my neck

Choking

Overpowering effect

Painful

Losing my life with a noose around my neck
