in and out

My eyes are dry

My mouth is numb

Something in my chest

is trying to find its way

out from my lungs,

but nothing comes out

It's almost as if

nothing is there

My heart's been ripped raw

My chest pounding

Some person I know

seems to be causing this

She comes in and out

It's almost like she's doing

this on purpose

She's everything I see

until she's nowhere in my sight,

like she was never there

Gone far away

once my breathless voice

drifted out into the air

Even with her gone

I can still feel her cold breath

on my face and neck

I can see it linger in the air

And I can still feel it everywhere

slowly breathing in and out
