I can’t breathe

I can’t breathe 

I can feel my lungs

 Closing in

And my life oozing

Out 

I can hear the 

Sounds and voices

Fade away

I ask and plead

For my life 

I can still feel 

Your knee pressed 

Against my neck 

Please don’t kill me 

I’m gasping for air

What I once saw

A blue sky 

It suddenly turn 

Into a white tunnel 

With a light 

I’m begging for my life

Please don’t kill me

I want my mother 

I want to see her one 

Last time 

I can’t breathe 

Please don’t take my life

For I am a father

I ask you please 

I see the light getting closer

For my last words 

Please don’t kill me 

I can’t breathe

The Immortal Wize

Once we reach the light at the end of this dark tunnel is when we can truly breathe. No one can render us breathless no more than they can shoot the sun out the sky. Great capture!
