 | She’s pregnant.
I’m jerked out from a waking sleep
Cars are screaming by me
I place my foot on the brake160, 140, 120, 110, 100…
You caught me again
I don’t feel happiness anymore
I wasn’t always like this
I said “whatever” at first
I walked away
I stopped calling
I said it wasn’t mine
Like a serpent you waited
I twisted her mind
I took her there
I held her hand
I pushed her down
You make no sound
I waited till it was done
I drove her home
I disappeared
I forgot
I moved on
You make your move
Your bite is subtle
Your squeeze is strong
You’re suffocating me
You’re not silent anymore
Your breath is all I hear.
