gasp

Your name
fills all the walls in my house
like toxic gas
I have no time
to grab a mask
i see my thin shadow
gently collapse
eyes burnt like toast
heart beating red and wide
suddenly all frozen in a chilling tide
I float on a bed in a gray lagoon.
Intoxicated breaths and
fading soon.
I dare not move
I tremble at you
let me out
and
let it be fast.
No known signal from my mouth
can elapse-
just mute gasps,
soft cries,
morose laughs.
pockets in
sick toxic gas.
