The Strangler

Infidelity
The devil's hand
Wrapped around my neck
Choking until my heart skipped a beat
Struggling to breathe
Arms extended
Waving about
I struggled
Fire burnt
My head on fire
There's a pulse running along my forehead
Strained
My head wants to explode
Overheated
Murmured
Fading
Falling
I lost consciousness
Trapped in darkness
Black heart
Scarred
Another wound yet to heal
