i walk away

afraid

of being alone

though it seems

to me

to

be

the way

i've

walked all along

you hold your hand

so tight

over

my mouth

whisper

in my ear

in the dark

before

the cold

of

dawn

that breath

should

come

from the heart

not

from the

head

you say

it is better to be

breathless

than to speak

lies

you've made

yourself

believe

and so

i'm

breathless for

you

until you kiss

me

and breath

your air

into

me
