had to make a villanelle for ela 👍 hope ya like

campfire

i beg you to breathe and not swallow
tuck it far back into the freezer
i beg you to breathe and not swallow

the air is thick, so i wallow
im at the top of the stairs, you're at the bottom
i know i shouldn't but i always follow

use your flimsy nails to dig my head hollow
the feel of salt in your open rancor
so mine only breathes in your sorrow

slowly, i sing in a smooth legato
tuck you into bed, feel your heart beat
to my grief, relief to subside, it will slow

a song by john lennon about yoko ono
you say it sucks, my fingers over fire
i wish we could go back to colorado

i beg you to breathe and not swallow
do my hair again, like my friends
i beg you to breathe and not swallow
but your fingers are always rotten
