Breathe Me

My first thought every morning

Is you.

My first thought every evening

Is you.

I want you to

Hold me close,

within the circle of your arms.

To run your hands across my face

like you would

a bow over the strings

of a violin.

To kiss me like I was oxygen

And you were dying to breathe.

To press your forehead

Against mine

And smile.

To lie with me in the middle

Of the night

As we tell each other

What we're thinking

At 2:06am.

To lie together

Under the blanket

Watching sad movies,

Sappy movies,

Funny movies.

I'd steal glances at you

When you aren't looking

Because you're beautiful.

Because you make me smile.

Because you light up my dark labyrinth.

It's a strange feeling.

'Cause I die a little every time I see you

With him.

And I feel worthless, again.

My emotions smother me in kisses

Of pain and heartache.

Breathe me.

Please,

Breathe me.
