it starts in my chest
a shift
a weight
a tightenin
somethin stirs beneath the surface
pulls the air from my lungs
causin them to contract
from a need so sharp
it feels like pain
my ribs tense
bracin for the onslaught
of my heart hammerin against them
wild
trapped
your name
presses from the inside
sharp and unforgivin
the thought of you
tight round my throat
every moment
steals more air
burnin thru oxygen
faster than I can take it in
I am breathless
with you
without you
within the echo
of your presence
but I think
this suffocation is easier
than this endless ache
to breathe you in
to fill every empty space with you
til i disappear
I thought I understood desire
til it asked for everythin
til it made itself at home
in the hollow of my throat
til it left me breathless
til it left me gaspin
willin to lose myself completely
I never imagined
I’d beg for less air
but I am
as long as it means
more of you
Well…hell, this is fire. I could not breathe till you reached the end,
oh good…now you know how I feel.
Powerfully penned, Ambjr. Into the book it belongs! Outstanding write my friend. Appreciate you.
