Breathless

No breath, no words

By 96-Zest DoePublished 9 days ago • 1 min read

Does it really take a song to know I did it wrong?

"Breathe out so I can breathe you in"

Foo Fighters, everlong

Is it something that I said that made you feel so dead?

"Breathe your life into me"

This band’s name is Red

I can name so many more, songs that I adore

Where the theme is all the same

Breathing is a chore

I'd say things with my chest even when I was a mess

But no longer can I speak

Seeing you now, I am so…
