One more breath I wasted.
In every word I speak, Novocaine is in my heart.
Hurt so strong it numbs the pain.
My star is telling me lies and hinting me to leave.
Nothing I want more than you.
Nothing I need more than us.
Your words are blocking the blood to my brain,
killing me slowly in an effort to relieve me.
My delicate spine cracking,
as the weight of my feelings pushes upon me.
I'm being pushed flat against the floor.
I want to curl up in a corner,
make myself as small as possible.
I want to be forgotten, if you can't remember me.
Read the print of my last lullaby on the wall of that corner.
Let me hear your voice sing them to me.
I want to be frozen in the moment forever.
I need to be yours or nothing at all.

This is a heartbreaking poem, I have been there often. The only thing I see Is you need to capitalize your "I"s, and calm down on the I wants. It gets very repetitive towards the end. Other than that, I like it
