gasping for air and a life source that doesn’t include you why are you the reason i breathe the air around me? is that why my lungs feel like they’re about to explode? because you’re toxic poisonous nothing but venom on your tongue i gave you kisses you gave me hope i gave you my life you grated my soul i collected my tears in a jar for you you gave me distaste; you gave me away gasping for air from someone who knows not how to love anyone besides themselves is like gasping for air in the universe

gasping for air
