At a standstill, with this one. Not getting what I wanted, out of it. Aesthetically pleasing, but not in the way I wanted. Meaning is weaker than intended.
breathe in
feel me all around you
ache for me. hurt for the warmth
of my breath in your ear, the thrill of my hair
tickling your neck, the pounding
of my heart against
your chest
breathe
hold me there
hold me as long as you can
keep me when the worn and weathered
hands of time have woven their weary fingers into
the stitchings sewn between us and unraveled
the threads that have held us
together for so long
breathe
remember me
when i no longer
see the gentle curves of your
menacingly sweet smile, reaching up
to your cheeks and ears, coloring them with glowing warmth
and deepening the lines of regret that have settled
into your brow. remember me, even after
we have become nothing but
familiar strangers
breathe me in.
