Suffocation – Written December 1994 (Aged 19)

Suffocation

people ask you, how do you feel
and if you answer honestly
the smile and the laugh
creep away nervously
so are you meant to lie
i am so scared to face my feelings
so scared that i feel like this
i am scared i will be suffocating you
and as much as i do feel for you
that is the last thing i want to do
suffocation, do not want to look a fool
do not want to drown you
in my feelings, do not want to lose you
