Not for Trying

I couldn't breathe, but not for trying. I was sucking air into my mouth but that's where it stayed. I swallowed it, hoping some would find its way down the right pipe.

I was screaming, not that anyone heard me. Anyone that mattered. What wasn't filled with air was filled with a blanket and pillow. Strange that something so soft could feel so horrible.

I was thrashing, though it made no difference. The weight on top of me was going nowhere. I tried. I tried to get it to leave, to even falter, just a bit. But it was no use. I couldn't breathe.

Strange that something so light could feel so heavy.

I loved you.
