Air

by @lizzy15

oh sweet love, with those long arms that once held me so gently now push me away. but i'm holding on to you so tightly. no one else really matters, and without you i'm so alone. this existence is now so bittersweet. i still get to breathe, but not the air beside you. the air i thirst for and crave, it tastes like heaven. but if you must go, than i will miss you. all of me will miss you. i will feel this agonizing loneliness, in all the pores of my skin in all the crevices of my bones, and the tunnels of my veins. because you have become a part of me, your breath was absorbed into mine when we kissed. but now you have ripped this breath right out of my lungs, and i am left gasping for your air. my body is so incomplete without you. i know i am the one that first walked, but i tried so hard to come back. now i know how it feels, to be rejected by your love. i feel myself gripping to the walls of this canyon my nails making trails as i hold on for dear life but i have fallen without a parachute or a net and now my wings are gone. i will probably die without you
