Smothering
You hold this pillow
So soft and gentle
Meant to make it easier
For me to sleep
But it's over my lungs
I can't breath
Your'e smothering me
My eyes are clouding over
and my hands search
begging you to stop
"let me breath!"
I try to scream
but it's to no avail
you push harder
and won't listen
My muscles are relaxing
My heart is close to stopping
"Oh Mother, Father"
I sigh
"Can't you see?"
My body has stopped squirming
My mind is going blank
And still you hold
What is yours to hold
And don't listen
You're way is right
It's the only way to die
with this soft pillow
meant to help me sleep
"You're smothering me."
