One Short Breath

Lungs stopping

Heart aching

Head pounding

Hurt burying deep inside of me.

There is no oxygen

My lungs are punctured

My breath leaks through the holes.

Blood is dripping

blood is boiling

poured into the pot on the stove.

Meaningless words

escape from my lips

as I run away from my fears and worries.

Stuck on my bed

Stuck in my head

Shedding tears that are worth nothing.

Gasping for air

is such a tedious task

so I give only one more,

one short, last breath.
