Breath

 

With each profound breath I take, I know that there is no way I can make it last.

 With each mistake I make,

 I know there is no way I can change the past.

  You take the breath right out of me,

 Making my skin a darker shade of blue.

 You left a hole where my heart should be,

 I will be the death of you.

  Feeling my life slip away,

 Taking a deep breath and feeling it rush out of me.

 With each passing day,

 I await the day I can start over completely.

  I know I can find the fire in your eyes,

 Knowing it’s hidden somewhere deep within.

 If only I can dodge all your lies,

 And knowing where to begin.

  Knowing that you were my biggest mistake,

 But now I am able to breathe.

 This time I will not be the one to break,

 You are someone I no longer believe.

 With each profound breath I take,

 I know now that what we shared couldn’t last.

 With each mistake I make,

 I know that you’re just a memory of my forgotten past.
