Poetry: Describe a Suffocating Love
Describe a love that is either good or bad, but make it well known that one of the two or both of the parties feel suffocating at some point, whether to each other or to the reader to the point of annoyance. Bonus points if you can make them a couple that stays together regardless, it just ups the ante.

the spaces in between are the most suffocating
when i think you hate me as much i love you
when i think i've become suffocating
your great black lake waiting for you to come home
when i feel more trouble than i'm worth
your deep blue ocean pulling you in when you're cold
drenched and glacial and past exhausted
i didn't mean to drown you
i was just scared you would love the air
so much more than me
