with its hands around my neck
it wants me to take my last breath
but giving in is just too easy

Fighting back seems simple
until it stops every attempt to move
it's reading my mind
I fear of no escape

I take a breath to clear my mind
it closes in, to take me away
I throw my arms around it and hold on tight
if I am going to die it's coming with me

Now it fears me
and it tries to push me away
I close my eyes in fear of what's next
I open my eyes......

A somewhat sombre poem, which was obviously the intention. Very good..

Before you become so good at dark poetry to the exclusion of all other forms, why not have a go at a funny one? Like a clerihew or a twongue tister or something..lol Keep writing girl !
