Do you ever wonder where you spent breath goes not conveying a kind sound or thought just caught in the wind as the willows gather the breath of others like you When you've used it up and cast it out seemingly without purpose or direction do you feel guilty for the neglect or the pain you may have caused with your heavy breathing I cannot feel for this, because I am alone remembering how you used to whisper to me telling me of the love you felt which was as empty as your wasted breath A real man kisses his children goodnight |

Excellent poem about something not considered too often, I would presume Good writers can come come up with ideas others don't think of....you have done so admirably. |

Your words speak of a bitter breath...and aptly so. Good writing, my friend. ~ Claire |
