The Air That You Breathed Is Still In Me

Social injustices scream

But you make the world beautiful again

Teal surrounds your visage

Makes you gleam

In my vision you are always perfect

You’re still with him

Still there’s that moment when you smile

You breathe a new air of words into me again

I can manage to keep going

You are the one I want

But I know you are happy

I will let you go for that sake

I’ll keep fighting these injustices to make sure you have a better life

Your beauty makes everything ten times better

When you fell that day

I regretted everything

I wished

I had fought for you

I wished

I was the one there holding your hand

Because the air you breathed is still fighting within me,

Because the air you breathed is still in me

      Kankri stared at what he had been writing in his notebook red tears running down his cheeks. His eyes were those of a broken man who had just lost the most important woman in his life. He told her his feelings were platonic even had become her moirail and been there for her through everything. All the hardships all of everything all came down to nothing. He lost the person he loved the most. The only love of his life was gone. What kind of injustice was this? What kind of trigger was this? Why did this happen? Why did it have to happen to Latula, his precious Latula, of all people? Wait, she wasn’t his. ‘Why am I sobbing like a child?’ he asked himself because she wasn’t even his to begin with.  She was Mituna’s matesprit. Secretly in the back of his mind; He didn’t care, he wished she was his. Now she was gone, the only person he would ever love was gone. “I’ll see you again…” He managed to get out, a sob escaping from his throat.
