Barely Breathing

You walk right in and cause my by breaths to accelerate.

I struggle for air and look away.

Heart pulsing and hands shaking come to prove

my heart wont make it tonight.

 

What once held it together now pulls it apart.

In pieces my heart lies on the floor

of your doorstep, the one i used to know so well.

Where only the wind touches it and blows pieces even farther apart.

 

And the only thing that time came to prove

was that i still had no one to believe in but you.

Instead of moving on i fell behind,

and you have plans for your life, even later on.

 

But how come you wont glance up at me?

And how come you have trouble speaking to me?

Do you realize what you have done?

You  have caused a wreck inside me.

 

I swallow words that beg to come out.

It feels like having knives being jabbed at my throat,

maybe thats why hundreds of tears roll down my cheeks.

The pain is unbearable and i cant control myself.

 

Why cant I forget you?

 

I trusted you.

I believed in you.

I had faith in you.

But the simple answer to it all is that i still love you.
