Love Poem: Suffocate

Suffocate

With you it doesn’t ever matter
Who’s wrong or who’s right
You will purposefully cause trouble
Just to pick a stupid fight
On word will set you off
And then you push with all your might
You put your hands around my neck
I feel my throat get so tight
I kick and scream and beg
For you to let go of your grip
My face turns black and blue
I feel my whole body start to slip
You throw me to the ground
It’s my shirt that you rip
I just barely see the knife
But notice my blood start to drip
You say you never forgave me
For the things I said and did
You hated every ounce of me
Since I had our first kid
You’re a psychopath in a can
And I opened the lid
When I said goodbye to you
It was my life that I bid
