Breathe

When you come into my thoughts
I shut my eyes...
and just breathe..
change subjects in my mind..
even just for a minute..
I start all over again.
Just breathe..
forget about the past
hope for a future
hide my true feelings
and accept where we stand
and I just breathe
I shut my eyes..
and breathe
I wonder why I cannot forget
and why i dream about the past
the thoughts become too much..
sometimes I cannot take it..
shut my eyes...
and just breathe
erase all thoughts of you
even if just for a minute..
start all over again..
just breathe

I like how the style of this poem resembles the way our minds go over the same thoughts over an over again. The way you wrote this emulates that feeling that comes every time you revisit something hurtful in your memory.
