Best Poems Written by Evadne Sri

My Breath

With a dying breath I realize
I’m the one holding the blade 
The one to my heart and veins 
I really thought it was you 
Until I opened my eyes 
You, standing there gasping
“My Love, what have you done”
With a dying breath I realized 
I was in your arms, tranquil to the world outside
.
.
.
No I wouldn’t die today
I thought with a smile
You are my breath 
My only life 
I’ll survive today,
For I realized, 
You're my heart, soul and lungs
And I’m holding your dying breath in my lungs
I’ll stay alive for I am scared 
Of the damages you will bear 
I’ll stay alive for you, my dear
I’ll be here until all becomes clearer.
