Alone
in the sky
Your breath in
me is like expanding helium
Raised you hold my wire across
All the open air know as this great wired distance
Forget everything hold the wire for every moment
Remember how you breathed into me, You hold on tight
Showing all failed girls before what kind of person it takes
To not let this balloon reach an air pressure point of popping
You hold me suspended at a perfect level next to the sun, moon and God
Everything I’ve loved is at the mercy of a string tied around
The knuckles of a girl one hundred and fifty miles away
You finally give up but won’t let me know
Tie me to a street light then you go
When dark you can see me floating
Judging what would be best
To slowly lose your breath
And hit the pavement
Or cut the wire
Eventually
rise and
pop
