Breathe

Breathe…
Can you feel her name leave your lips

As it no longer belongs to you?

The tremble in lips

As the tears streak your cheeks?

Inhale

Hold your breath

Hold onto your every thought of me

Clench your fist

White knuckled

First kiss in the pouring rain

While your heart throbs

Your insides scream

Remember

When the words I love you

Left a longing mouth

When I belonged to you

Your body shaking

The rush of your blood bringing the pounding to your ears

Exhale

Every part of us

What was left of you

As the world falls at your feet

The room spins and nothing makes sense

Blow it all away

With thieving hands, stole my heart

Let go

Say my name one last time

Let your dreams be haunted by memory

Chase your ghost

Yet I am still living

Breathe

Fight another day

Don’t hold your breath

Simply exhale the very thought of me.
