Lose Control

I feel the hand reach closer to my throat.
It latches on and grips me,
Till I can’t breathe.

I fall to my knees,
Begging.
I know not who I am,
Without you.

Remember me for faster sign in

I feel the grip tighten.
I gasp for air,
Each attempt futile.
I need you.

I’m losing consciousness,
Every moment apart,
Drives me to insanity.

Reality is a past’s memory.
Within the wraps of a strait jacket,
I recant all my senses;
All useless if not beside you.

My body goes limp,
Breathes escaping my lips.
As the darkness consumes my sight,
I recite your name and hopes of you.

I beg for you,
Pleas riddled with your name.
Your presence consumes me,
And makes me weep when alone.
