The words of a wise Poet...

A collection of original 'prompts'

Title: 'A Breath is hard to take when you love someone'

Breathing was impossible when she was near. Always making his heart skip a beat at the sight of her irresistible beauty. Despite the broken heart he possessed at her words, he grew more and more infatuated by her everyday. It was no surprise that one day he lost all his ability to keep away from her. Finally grasping her close, practically smothering her in his chest. But when his fingers grazed over her delicate face and he took in her soft yet striking features; something snapped deep inside him. His eyes narrowed, brow creased and lips turned into a snarl. His hands trailed down to her neck. His finger tips digging into her neck. "Breath.." He whispered as his hands clasped tight around her throat, "How dose it feel to be in love princess... Can you feel it? Your heart stopping at my touch just like you very presence dose to me everyday?" He shivered as a loud whine left his beloved lips. Her soft hands clawing at his as wrist and large callused hands as he slowly lifted her petite body off the ground. "Its okay my princess, Let our love guide you to happiness. We can go far away from here with nothing but the clothes on our back and each other." Her thin legs swung in the air. Searching for any perches to stand upon that would release the pressure on her throat. "Its okay." He murmured again and again. His eyes never leaving hers, even when the light he oh so loved left from them. "I will be your breath now. As you were mine from the start..."

(this is also in my short stories book, as I am considering whether or not to leave it as a short story or write it into a fully developed one. I would love for suggestions or any ideas/request for this prompt (or any other). Thank you for reading xx
