can't get close.

He was asthmatic and selfish.

He developed a habit 

of taking my breath away

in order to sleep more

comfortably.

I nearly suffocated every night

to watch him sleep,

and it was my favorite thing

in this entire world.

Ayanna, I just read all of your poems. you are truly talented. They are vivid and strong topics. you restrain from saying and describing too much which is difficult to do and admirable when done right. I could feel every word. Hauntingly, beautiful writing. Exceptional word choices!

Wow, I relate. This is awesome! I had a boyfriend that did this to me. I was addicted to every part of him, yet he made me miserable. Good writing, girl!
