breathless
laboured
tortured
each breath
swallowed
greedily gulping gasping
each breath
stolen
without you
breathless
laboured
tortured
each breath
swallowed
greedily gulping gasping
each breath
stolen
without you
… … … … … … …
there may be no answer,
from you,
from times’ tick-tocking rhymes,
and,
it matters not,
not anymore,
for,
i would truly be blind,
were i not to feel a lost sliver of a breath,
of hope,
elusive,
impossible,
alluring,
addictive …
so i bid you farewell, for now,
but,
who knows,
perhaps,
our paths may,
someplace, sometime,
seek each others’,
however difficult,
those paths may appear,
we may,
yet, still meet,
as sure as this approaching dawns’ hopeful light,
dispels the bleakness,
of yet another lonesome night … … … … … …
