The cage in my chest imprisons my breath

My heart crumbles neath the weight

My face becomes wet my vision is blurred

My throat seals itself away

Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

My limbs shake and quiver as I fall to the ground

My legs unable to support me just like you

The only breaths I can manage are shallow and short

My consciousness fades as the air pulls away

And I wonder

Would dying be so different from this

Would I simply fall asleep as the air slips away

As I shake and empty my eyes

Is this what it is to die
