snow has settled, slow and sedating feeding cravings to devour the hollow shell I've created. an instant too long a rapid beat in my chest how much, how much will it take to suppress this? we don't look at each other the way we're supposed to I glance in the mirror only when i'm forced to deep breaths come so shallow I can't tell you what I am now I'd trade it, you'd trade this for anything not worth our hatred. I sing loud without passion I wonder how far I could run from this, gravity pulling on my extremities from these unsavory haunting memories don't tell me what I already know don't kiss me where this used to be our home blank; over anxiousness your empty words supply the lack of oxygen to my chest. I catch your breath beneath my calloused fingertips I adore you, before we settled with the cigarette ash if I told you this was it if I told you I've taken in all the poison I can ingest would you save whatever we have left? or would you let it crumble, and enjoy the downfall of our wreckage? I only want to escape. I only want to be clear to fade away. you told me this would bend before it breaks but our broken parts tell a different story; i am lost but not the lost i want to be.

Losing.
