This feels so wrong.
Living on a respirator,
healing from love's infection.
I use to have a pulse,
right before the insanity struck.
Thump, thump, my heart sung.
Finding comfort in my own breathing.
Then I saw you...
heard you.
felt you...
and I breathed you in.
My heart skipped in it's beat.
And my breath was gone.
Wrong- is it wrong?
It feels wrong.
Beyond all reason,
I have fallen in love with you.
And I know that
your taste is such a thing-
Such a thing I'd die for...
You're all I've ever wanted.
Now you're all gone.
Thieving my breath
and stealing off into the night.
Even though I love you,
you couldn't wait to leave me.
So, I'll whisper with my last breath,
about how much I miss you.
I can't help but close my eyes
and lay my body back down.
Letting the machines keep me alive.
Till the day you'll be back
to breathe life into me.
Thump, thump, my heart sung. Was the original poem title.
