You've stolen my breath

Dug down deep

And tore it straight out

With your inhale

 

Now every word

Becomes an involuntary one

Digging for morsels

Forgotten at the bottom

Of the bowl

 

And when that numbness

Slowly fades

You com throbbing back to me

There to devour

The stitches

I so prettily used

To mend your tears in my skin
