not breathing anymore.

as i gasp for breath,
the pain in my ribs,
makes my headache,
seem like a joke.

i lay there wishing,
i could scream outloud,
but the pain is
pinning me down.

my heart quickly slows,
and my gasps quiet,
and i lay there,
slowly dying.

5 4 3 2 1,
the pain slowly leaves,
the morphine i
can quickly guess.

but i remember,
the pain and the source,
and i do not
feel like breathing.

Anymore.



PS for this one i was trying to work with rhythm. for this one its a 5544 for all the stanzas except the last line which is 3 because it needed to stand out to make any effect.
