Pressed against me tight,
I can’t breathe and realize –
You suffocate me.

Great haiku. Never been smothered…probably a good thing.

Love the ending. I agree with scooj. A little smothering is good but when the paranoid delusions come out, I’m outta there: “Hon, why would I hide someone under the bed when I can simply stash him in the closet?”

Loved this, and FTM’s story as well; both excellent and had me laughing because of incident I woke up thinking of just last night. I’m the only man in the world who has ever complained about too much attention from a woman…well, maybe not the only one. Great work.

If you truly love someone, then suffocation is inevitable. So sad.

Is that so, DD? Do you mean that when you’ve been with someone for awhile, they end up getting on your nerves? Lol. Ah, that’s life, darling 😀

If you gotta go, suffocation is probably the best way.

I hear it’s even more intense for men — death by suffocation leaves them with a wee woody.

I’ve also heard that, specifically in relation to when outlaws were hung. Or hanged. Or maybe both.

Too much smothering is not a good thing…it always ends in pain and .tears.
Wonderful Haiku, as almost always!

Oh, well, a little pain just makes life more real and the lessons learned are valuable — although we may not appreciate it at the time!

I didn’t read this like it was about a person at first, more like as an anxiety attack, but I love the subtle creepiness to it. I can see how a little suffocation can be okay, especially if there is a little playfulness in it (I’m giving away some slightly personal details by saying that, but I can’t say it more honestly than that haha).
I love that this haiku can be a kind of short suspense story. I really enjoy this one! 🙂

I know this is not what the poem’s about, but it made me think of my cat when I was a teenager. Sleeping on or near people’s faces is not a good idea. 🙂

Well, some cats are really fluffy like pillows, so that’s not such a far stretch! 🙂 I totally agree that air passages should remain clear and unobstructed.
