A NIGHT THAT STILL LIVES IN ME

That night

felt like drowning

in a room full of air

 

Your breaths flickered

like a candle

about to give up the dark

 

And my chest

a collapsing room

with no windows

no way out

 

I broke quietly

like glass

no one could hear

 

Because that was the night

I learned

 

love isn't always enough

sometimes

it's watching someone slip away with

empty hands
