I
float,
Lungs
filled with air
I
dare not let out
Filled
with your air
But
also empty
I
cannot breathe
Deeply
enough
To
fill the cavity
Inside
my chest,
A
cough brings up,
Each
memory
The
lingering touch
I am
desperate
To
feel again,
The
kiss I miss
Yet
so filled with bliss
It
keeps me float,
Like
a life preserver,
On
this insane sea
We
all must float upon
And
flounder in,
Each
soul bobbing
Between
the ripples
Of
waves,
I
float with you
Inside
of me
With
a memory of me
Being
inside of you,
I
wear you around me
Until
you become me,
Or I
become you,
Even
when you are gone
Surviving
each storm
By
merely staying afloat
My
lungs filled with air
I
stole from you
With
each desperate kiss,
Knowing
then
As I
know now
That
I might never
Get
another chance
To
breathe you in.
I
float,
Feeling
every inch
Of
what I felt then
Every
curve, every valley,
The
friction and head
We
drew each time
We
made contact,
Electric,
atomic,
The
scene of it
Lingering
in my nostrils
So
that I can breathe
Little
else,
Part
of this endless sea
I
float in
And
which over time
Will
finally consume me
As I
once consumed you,
I
float,
But
not alone.
Beautiful...
