Smother

You give me the life I live and yet you take it from me

breath by breath, sigh by sigh

When you succeed, perhaps I will leave my anguish behind

as a small token of my gratitude.

You, so smug and triumphant in your make believe of past lifetimes

are mine

through and through.

As your nurturing hands slowly strangle the life out of me, I wonder if you realise

I may not have another to even die in.

Your trying to make me live in dark smoky chambers

stifles me so.

Resent you I do. But then you grudge me no less.
