What You Do
Don’t have me in arms reach
And keep your distance,
I can’t hold my breath for much longer,
No I’m not stronger
Than the air in my lungs
Or the muscles in my cheeks
Don’t make promises you can’t keep.
I want to trust you to hold me
Without the fear of letting go
I should let you know
That I love you
But my lips decisively forget
My tongue lingers,
You take my breath away,
Sentences become murmurs.
You steal my every intention of moving on,
And making a new start.
But I don’t mind,
You can take all my organs-
Just don’t leave out my heart.
