Goodbye to the breath of nothing
a once upon a time something;
whispers in the unknown
Goodbye to the breath of nothing
can’t believe my lungs expanded for you
much more than they could handle
nothing gentle; but I chose you
Goodbye to the breath of nothing
an incomplete dream on soft clouds
woke me at 3 am
kissed me harder than rain
but your insides; a drought in need of hydration
Goodbye to the breath of nothing
if I revolve around you, then what?
a universe consisting of you as the predominant source of life
I am nothing but dust?
Goodbye to the breath of nothing
let me burn
my memories will disintegrate
you’ll be free
I’ll rise from my own ashes;
name me Phoenix
Goodbye to the breath of nothing
neurons exhausted by your abuse
lost too much of mind;
it’s evicting you
Goodbye to the breath of nothing
boys working in infinite erg to entertain me
flirting with someone new,
“he has your laugh …
does it bother you?”
Goodbye to the breath of nothing
my path of evolution is forced
if I called you mine
and you stayed silent
than what the hell was I?
was I …
am I …
your once upon a time?
