One Last Single Breath

With every breath I take
It makes my poor little broken heart ache
Your heart of ice left mine froze 
And my broken heart now shows
My very breaths are to much to handle
You are just a heart vandal 
Why did you choose me
Why couldn’t you just let me be
Now my breathing has slowed
My breath flowed
Out of my lung
I was so young 
And now I show my broken heart 
Which I never wanted to start 
A single last breath 
I have met my death
My soul left my heart 
And my body and soul now depart 
My breath was what kept me from being the walking dead 
It was something that I had always dread
So now I must say goodbye 
After my breath cried out one final time, and I could feel it die
I reached for the sky 
For I could only try to figure out Why?
