Falling

we kissed

and i dont know if i expected to feel everything

or nothing at all

but i enhaled your presence into my lungs

my soul

and it took over

every part of me

like the rush of a drug in my viens

and time didnt stop but disappeared completely

i looked into your eyes and fell

and fell and fell

and suddenly i landed in water so cold it took my

breath away but it turns out

that wasnt water at all

it was love

or what i thought love was

until i stayed awake at night wondering

why when you took my breath away now

it wasnt from kissing but rather choking

i was held down by your hands and 

your words

and my breath was gone for so long i

had forgotten how to breathe at all
