Breathe

Just once
Breath
Not for me
No, never act for me

But exhale the worry and the thoughts
That penetrate the only innocent crevasses
Of your wondrous wandering mind
Then your body reacts
As your soul cries for peace

Exhale every thought of me
And every misspelled word
I never promised to be perfect
And the sky never told you it wouldn't lie
But it whispered every one of my secrets
As you wrote them on your palms
And fell down in shame
Like a perfect withering leaf
Let them go


Just inhale
His every word
Spoken like a true man
One I could never be
One you never wanted me to be

Then Take this
Exhale this
Every one of my thoughts to you
Every fucking time I've tried to get close to you

But remember
I'm not complaining
I'm not ranting
I'm not even hammering the nails
Into the coffin of what we were
No

It's just a girl
Asking you to breath
But not for me
Never for me
