I looked down and there was a wind underneath me.
you,
left the taste of cigarette breath
between my teeth.
I wasn't expecting a camp fire love song.
you weren't expecting your life to last this long.
278 days and we were caught in flames,
burned by the passion we did not have.
Like a puff of air, you disappeared.
I felt you gone, but you still seemed to be here.
Pulling the trigger, bam.
I wear a new skin-
vulnerability.
Solidarity has left me,
Cold. Colorless.
Like the night I watched life leave the body that you once possessed.
I crave the feeling of your waist, the texture of your palms.
I miss the way your heart use to race,
how excitement was traced through every one of your veins.
There was one night I will never forget,
but forever regret.
That was the night you left me with the taste of cigarette breathe between my teeth.
the night there was a wind underneath me.
