Wasted Breath

How can I write

With no words left to say

Wondering if tonight

You finally stroll away


Why do I hold my tongue

When all you hold is her

Why does the air still flee my lungs

Wondering how she makes you purr


When did you decide

You needed another touch

Another body on the bedside

Bringing some hollow rush


Her bed's still warm from midnight meetings

While mine's cold as death

You say it's not cheating

Stop waiting your breath
