Asphyxia

Bed sheets rustle, silent pleas for air and light.
The fear of losing… Day after day
Hands unclasp with calming smiles in the night.

It’s not so bad. These things just might
Bring unrealized dreams to fruit; let quiet stay.
Bed sheets rustle, silent pleas for air and light.

Become one. Solitude is heaven at first sight
But when will your self-delusions fall away?
And hands unclasp with calming smiles in the night.

Let’s take our sadness and rewrite
And in this sea of bloody red, we lay
While bed sheets rustle. Silent pleas for air, light.

Shudder harshly, your skin a deathly paper-white
I’ll fill you with the breath of life, the way
That hands unclasp with calming smiles in the night.

Come now, dearest, this time you won’t fight
Fingers that dig into your neck like play –
Bed sheets rustle, silent pleas for air and light.
And hands unclasp with calming smiles in the night.
