Breathing has never been this hard,
I look at you, you look away,
Trying to hide this in the pit of myself,
Hollows out my chest more everyday...

Cold to the touch,
Bitter is the taste,
Secrets are the stitches,
That hold my skin in place,

This vacant hole inside my chest
Reminds me of what used to be,
Bloody and dripping from your hands,
Still then you fail to see,

The words on my tongue, thoughts in my head,
Scream out for you to hear,
Your distant eyes, Your empty smile,
Being alone is what I fear,

My heart in your hands and skipping a beat,
Your silence soon will end,
Just like all those times before,
You'll make things right again,

I'll smile for I'll feel whole,
Forget those secrets that I keep,
Stitch back up again,
The reminder, you've failed to see...

I see me frowning in your eyes...
I see the fear in you...
Where no one ever should be...

"Breathing has never been this hard"

I loved this first line.. Great way to start off the poem..

"Cold to the touch,
Bitter is the taste,
Secrets are the stitches,
That hold my skin in place"

This was my second favorite part of the poem. It was very descriptive but still simple in a way. Thank you for a very enjoyable read once again.

Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes.
Want nothing & you will have everything.
