BREATHLESS... Is
Heavy breathing of your own
Without abusing the telephone.
Self - Inflicted by chain smoking
Whilst Asthmatics go on choking.
Breathing ragged.. Getting Rougher
Time too suck deeply on your puffer.
Popping Steroids... every single day
Trying to keep... infections at bay.
Making Love... You need to rest
Collapsing heavily... on her breast.
High pitched wheeze.. like a violin
Those clogged 'air-way's - all done-in.
Pulsating... jagging stabbing pain
Driving you.. Bloody near insane.
Exercises are confined to the mind
They are now the only available kind.
Putrid lungs... full of clotted phlegm
Cough.. 'hack it up' - and start again.
Difficult.. so hard to breath at night
Long pitch black hours... full of fright.
