As Often As Air Hits my Lungs


(poems go here) Numbness consumes my being Without you darkness is all I am seeing I scream knowing it was full of lies Now sometimes I feel a part of me die I miss you as often as breath hits my lungs, slowly coming undone Quick sand would have devoured me slower then you got over me Still missing your embrace if only I could still be your only one Come to find out you threw away the key You have changed in the blink of an eye Grieving all I thought we were, I cry How did I become so painfully broken? Taking back all those words that were spoken An ocean of emotions has swallowed me whole Trusting you, I gave you my heart only to watch you tear it apart Thought we were chasing after the same beautiful goal I am left here trying to remove this dart Wondering if I will ever trust again, take down the walls If anyone will attempt to love me though I am broken Am I just labeled, “don’t touch”, will someone call? Can I keep my voice or will it fade once again to unspoken?
