Breath of Death

Breath of Death

A Poem by KeelyJane

I exhaled a piece of me when I let you go,
my heart be my breath

I gasped for your love,
I breathed it to death

I inhale the cold and emptiness,
fill my lungs in chest

The air of goodbye,
suffocate this love for the best

A raw exchange of letting love go for the suffocation of emptiness! No one can understand the feeling until they live it. WTG, KeelyJane

Letting go = the hardest thing = the greatest testament of love for another. You smashed it here KJ. Emotional work.

Nice little write, I like these parts:
"I exhaled a piece of me when I let you go,"

"I gasped for your love,
I breathed it to death"

Fantastic! every line is like a punch to the face and the last to the groin! In all seriousness though, very powerful stuff, well penned. :)
