Not anymore.

I’m suffocated
by the
darkness.
It closes in all around me,
with no escape.

I’m drowning,
grasping for air
in the lies and falsifications.
They crush the air out of my lungs.

I’m choked
by hate and malice.
The hate you gave so lovingly,
wraps its bony fingers around my neck
in a cold embrace
and squeezes.
again.
again.
