my lungs must be blue.
I haven’t caught my breath
since the day I saw you
walk back into my life like
it was made for you to take.
I was so scared to let you in
because all of me was at stake.
You whispered you’ve never
loved another more than me.
You kissed and held me tight so
you could tear apart everything.
Now here I am, holding my knees
tight on the tile floor,
picking up the pieces and wishing
I’d never let you through that door.
