The first time our lips touched
I inhaled your sweet breath
Youre my air, my atmosphere
I could never forget
Nothing but love
Hapiness
In that moment
I still smell you on my jacket
To my ex:
I let you put me in that dark little corner
and just above me hung
a mobile of bones --
it drew the breath straight from my lungs.
Silent whispers slithered in and out my ears,
Words tend to dissolve in tea
And I’ve found they often rise with the steam
My lungs breath then in you see
Leaving words to sprout in me
But I’ve found that with my lungs so full
You are dying so I LIVE, breathe
Alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency
It has a fancy name
But I just call it

I hold my breath when you kiss me to stop the rattling of my ribs and the expansion of lungs. So my body remains undisturbed, unless it is touched by you.
A restless silence fills my bones
It breathes and bites and tears at my skin
I am but a wounded animal surrounded by wolves
Vulnerable as an empty shell, breaking at the slightest touch.
I am entering her body.
I am quite full of myself.
She doesn't hesitate to let me in.
She welcomes me.
She always does.
Every second we spend osculating,
constantly coupling in the summer heat,
the breeze feels like feathers against my skin
and laughter suffocates me but i can still breath.
two beers
shots shots shots shots shots
dark souls filled to the brim with inebriation
Perfection is a malady, it only serves to maim
The wrinkled edges of my insanity, only myself and the world to blame.
'What a shame' was my worst fear,
Lurking behind the swallowed tears
4 AM and y SAT prep book lies before me, and by now I have accomplished more than usualThe sound of cars on the highway is the only thing that separates me from silenceand my ongoing thoughts are what separate me from sleep.
My doctor, happens to reside
Opposite the road ten strides.
So conveniently I asked
His service when my lung collapsed
A horrid accident and gruesome
And not as like this awful twosome
I love you,
Frantically,
like drowning lungs
love the drop
that stops them
come to me
ease what these other men
have done
be the one
