but love me harder

it is surrounding me

stealing my ability to swallow

my face is red

and sweat is dripping from my chin

I am suffocating.

my finger tips are blue

bullets have pierced my skin

ice has crept into my veins

and the fire has seared my bones

i am dying

light is behind my eyes

the whispers of our song are in my ear

the pulsing of my heart deafens me

and my stomach has flipped from the fall

I am alive

my cells are erupting

the breeze has curled my toes

my hairs are standing

and you cause my lungs to catch

i am breathing

I am helpless to its suffocation

I am engulfed by our pain

I am awake for our wonders

I am inhaling your passion

I am consumed
