• Take a final look
    as I take a final breath
    as for when I finish writing this poem
    what’s left of my heart will suffocate to death

    Watch me struggle
    Watch as I fail to breathe
    look at me suffocate
    watch my soul leave

    Why can’t I breathe?
    Why is it so hard to?
    You can spend hours trying to find out
    and never realize the answer is you

    You leave me breathless
    you leave me without air;
    I die a little more inside
    whenever you’re not there
