Breath

Poetry by adelinefecker

Seeing you takes my breath away

But not like it used to

I used to feel your perfection radiate off you

I used to drink you up

I used to gasp and tell you through short breaths

I love you

Still you take my breath away

You take it away and give nothing back

You remove the air from my lungs

You claim it for yourself

Who is drinking who

I can't breathe anymore
