Breathing

when the only thing

illuminating the world

are the stars who live

life times away

and the moon

who gracefully rules

everything beneath her

and the weight on my chest

begins to increase so subtly

until I am being fully crushed underneath it

laying there as the whisps of forgotten dreams

are pushed out of me

and my heart struggles to continue beating

the simple thought of your crystal eyes

returns some feeling into the tips

of my fingers that tingle as humanity

begins to flow within them again

you feel like breathing in a world

that thrives on asphyxiating dreamers
