no words
what can i say how can i speaki gave you all the words i wished to live
only to watch them die
from your carelessness
i have nothing to say other than what’s been spoken
nothing to give other than what’s been offered
you seem to want
more than i have other than i am
someone not me
to that what can i say
other than
you once took my breath away
and i didn’t mind
each gasp for air meant you were near
for your closeness i
willingly traded my breath
until you took it as your tribute
and turned away
walked away
stayed away
how can i speak when you never returned never acknowledged my sacrifice
you held on to my life
kept me choked in an inattentive grip
weakening my gift day by day
slowly killing me
painfully destroying all i had to offer
yet you expect to revive me
simply by loosening your grip
from a distance
how can you breathe life
into me
from a distance
Harvest Life
