There is no mid in my midnight
it all rolls into one dark expanse

The peeping stars are smothered
as the only witnesses

clouds hover down to my breathing space
forcing me to regurgitate the sickening air

Only the small sounds audiable
the grinding of teeth in your sleep

Amplified to cull my nights peace
whimpering anger boils under my bedsheets.

sounds like being smothered. Enjoyed.

Gemma, I agree with Temptress...it sounds as though you're smothering. It made me catch my breath!!
Very good writing, Gemma...dark, but not too dark. Does that make sense?
