As Often As Air Hits my Lungs

(poems go here) Numbness consumes my being

Without you darkness is all I am seeing

I scream knowing it was full of lies

Now sometimes I feel a part of me die

I miss you as often as breath hits my lungs, slowly coming undone

Quick sand would have devoured me slower then you got over me

Still missing your embrace if only I could still be your only one

Come to find out you threw away the key

You have changed in the blink of an eye

Grieving all I thought we were, I cry

How did I become so painfully broken?

Taking back all those words that were spoken

An ocean of emotions has swallowed me whole

Trusting you, I gave you my heart only to watch you tear it apart

Thought we were chasing after the same beautiful goal

I am left here trying to remove this dart

Wondering if I will ever trust again, take down the walls

If anyone will attempt to love me though I am broken

Am I just labeled, “don’t touch”, will someone call?

Can I keep my voice or will it fade once again to unspoken?
