Asphyxia

Exploration of a sadistic mindset.

A bit of air

Is that all you need?

Eh...no

I don't want to hear you breathe

When I see

Blue in your face

That's what I love

It makes my heart race

Scream and scratch

Squirm and fight

When you go cold

It helps me sleep at night.

Author's Note

Ugh. Partially inspired by a Working Class Hero.

What kind of mind actually sleeps better with this thought? A great look into a sickness.

I haven't seen many poems about sadism on this site, but this is a welcome break from that absence. The personal aspect of this, as if the narrator is talking to you, is what I like the most. And the topic is something I can relate to. Nicely done.

That is most disturbing, friend, though I can't say I'm not familiar as well. Thank you for your take on this.

Short but very good...
