Another attack
Worse than the one before
This one leaves me
Gasping on the floor

Another attack
I think I'm gonna die
Surrounded by you
Surrounded by your lies

Another attack
I can't breathe
You're just a memory
So why won't you leave

Another attack
The walls are closing in
Wrapping me, trapping me
Convicted by your sin

Another attack
Filling me with fear
I can't see straight
I can't think clear

Another attack
What's wrong with me
Another attack
And I'm history

I liked the way you divided your poem into neat, easy-to-read stanzas with a good rhyme scheme. The repitition of "another attack" really tied the whole thing together even more than the slightly differing content of each stanza did. Nice job :) PS: If you want to check out some of my stuff, you're more than welcome to, and it would be greatly appreciated ;)
