Melting
The air hangs thick
Humidity and hesitation coat my lungs
Weighing them down with each breath
Heavy sighs do me no justice
I feel the pressure on my chest
Summer has just begun
Already I feel as if I’m suffocating
You don’t seem to notice
You crack open another cold one
Enjoying the heat
You don’t seem to mind my melting
Soon I’ll be another puddle at your feet
