Cold Fingers

I'm breathing deeply

in and back out again

trying to stop myself

from choking-

and falling into darkness.



You cold fingers around my neck

stopping ny words

inturrupting my thoughts

streaching me thinly

forcing me to succumber.



I stand outside myself

watching with pity

as my body goes limp

heavy in your hands

and you let me fall to the bed.



"A few small nicks," you begin the cutting.

A few small nicks you begin the cutting. Greatness and almost godlike, I picture this poem as it happens. Very nice
