You take my breath away, but not the feeling of astonishment and awe
You take my breath away in the feeling of where my breathing is suddenly gone
Somehow you've become the very thing that grounds me yet also uproots me
You are the north star guiding me through a chaotic sea and you are the waves that bring me 6 feet under
My unpredictability and impulsivity has pushed you away like others, but unlike them, you are the only one I crawl back to
My sporadic mood swings and late night texts of I'm sorry and we're done shouldn't be something you have gotten used to
My please forgive me's, yet I don't deserve your forgiveness
The thing we both latch on to, or maybe its just me, is the link we used to share
We used to love each other, platonically or romantically, that's for you to decide
I mourn the loss of that love, knowing we can never go back to it as much as I try to reverse the damage I have done
