a cold ache
radiating from my hollow chest

i was told to hate you
i was told that what we were
was disgusting
i was told that you were repulsive

that was months ago
and months ago
i told you i hated you
i hated us
we were disgusting

but it was a lie
and now i am missing you
i miss what we were
i miss your words

my chest is weak and heaving
each breath
more exhausting than the last
i can't breath without you
