Inhaler

I can’t breathe.

your words and thoughts consume me.

I know what I did to deserve this.

I want to return to that state of sheer bliss.

before you claimed your stake,

my soul you take.



I can’t breathe.

your words and thoughts consume me.

I need an inhaler.

I cannot wait until later.

my lungs need release now,

there’s only one way I know how.


what you say is true,

what you think is true,

how you feel is true,

about me.

I can see,

yet I still can’t breathe.

I am emotionally asthmatic.

static.

I don’t progress.

I only digress,

running from the situation.

never arriving at my destination,

like oxygen to my lungs.

my heart can no longer run.


I can’t breathe.

your words and thoughts consume me.

I need an inhaler.

this cannot wait until later.

bring me air.

give me air.

feed me air.

I need air.
