The eyes you stared
aren't the same shade,
the hands you held
aren't the same size,
your heartbeats
aren't the same rhythm,
and with that,
I'll never replace her

Breathing is simple
Inhale, exhale.
Exhale, inhale.
However sometimes
it can become so difficult
and cause you to forget
but you,
you remind me how to breathe
how to keep breathing
how to not let go
how to keep fighting.
You are my reason
to try
to fight
to love.
To do everything
To do anything.
You are my reason.
You are my heart.
I love you.

tonight
i freed my heart
from those high walls
that got taller
when pain savaged through my veins.

tonight
i confessed my love
to you
and you left me
in silence.

tonight
as
i break down,
these walls of mine
will collapse
and leave me in surrender.

i put my hand on your chest
to feel the heart
that once made me collapse
and remember what it felt like
to want to love someone
