Title: The Scent of Breath By: AYESHA JEON Breath had a scent. I never knew if it meant one was living- or slowly disappearing. Now confidence crumbles, doubt sets in. No one seems capable of love- only misunderstanding, and the quiet urge to stay beside someone without sincerity. That scent... it stinks. The breath- the air brushing my skin, seeping into bone- irritates me. The breath I once loved, the one my nose could never forget, carried warmth, moisture, love. In the dark-when eyes refuse to see- the scent of your breath drew me to you. I found you in the deepest night. It was beautiful. But now... it's gone. No one carries your scent. Now even from miles away, their breath disgusts me- turning my stomach, stiffening my world. I search for what I once loved: the breath that made me want to keep breathing, the scent that filled every room, the presence I could feel even when I could not see. Sometimes my heart races as if you are near. A trace of that scent passes- swift, fleeting- and my senses fail to hold it. Still, I know- you are gone. Breath once meant warmth and moisture. But everything ends when death steps in, and life lingers on the edge of disappearance

Studd, Robert Frost, and Wattpad's very own Oceane McAllister, this poetry collection is meant for all ages! However, indefinitely deploy discretion despite descriptions! This volume has won second place in the Plasma Awards. Many thanks to @Xx_KiwiSherbet_xX for the cover! POEM ADDITION CHALLENGE If you have a favorite poem, by you or someone else, please share! Poems I like that are made by others are included after every 3 poems of mine (it started by happenstance that way, and my slight OCD likes to keep patterns XD). Your poem will receive a chance of recognition and addition in my poetry book, and I will add your Wattpad name and a link to your works at the end of the poem. This will give others the chance to view the rest of your stuff! So head on in and enter your poem for a chance to win a spot in my poetry book! I'll see ya there! ;P CHALLENGE GUIDELINES Head inside to view! Please mind the guidelines when submitting. (Anyone get it? Head inside? Mind? Ahh, nevermind... ;P XD)
