I can’t breathe.
Pain has escaped
My lungs
And it’s difficult
To inhale love
To take its place.
I suffocate
On my gasps
Trying to quell
This feeling of
Being undeserving.
I breathe you in
For my survival
Holding hope
In my throat
‘Til I choke on it.
I draw in
The thought
That you were
Brought to me
For a reason.
