Through your veins?
Can I stop your breathing?

Hang my by a noose;
One created from your fears.
Collect your agreements,
But don't pass Go.

Darling you're laying next to me.
Could I stop your breathing?
Are you happy, now?
You got what you wanted.

Ten thousand cuts,
But you left me beating.
Inside me there's a place
You can call your home...

Your words crawl out your mouth
And spill into my ears.
I can feel you in my skin.
I can taste you on my lips.
Eyes burned black,
No portrait of beauty here.
Are you happy?

I'm drowning in the air,
I'm being crushed under the distance.
If we weren't dying,
Everyone would be jealous.
So, are you happy?
Can you breathe?
I swear,
Everyone would be jealous! [comments] => 4 [counter] => 262 [topic] => 6 [informant] => the_unknown [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 14 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )

The question about stopping the breathing is kind of scary. And if it is about how vulnerable we are when we are asleep it's even more scary.
The lines that really spoke to me though and gave me some eerie images was:

Your words crawl out your mouth
And spill into my ears

Dark... I agree with the people before me, the question about the breathing is kind of creepy.
I liked it though.

Hang me by a noose;
One created from your fears.
Those lines stood out to me.
