I am drowning in this air.
It clogs the throat.
Breathe deeply and you can feel
Ounces of regret.
Clung to iron walls,
I climb these invisible tests
To find visible deaths.
A spiked reality above me.
Brings your eyes
For you won’t want to miss.
I’ll show happiness beyond.
Breathe me, my poisoned gift.
You were beautiful once.
Barely legal, perfect once.
A warm addiction once.
Slow and painless once.
Once was enough once.
Now faded.
