Beathing
May 1, 2012
Breathing is so simple,
yet sometimes it can be so
difficult.
When I’m away from him for so long
I just want to stop breathing
…When I get bullied…again
…When she fights with me
…When I have those re-occurring nightmares
I want to stop breathing
When I can’t talk to him, when I really need to
or when I just need to be in his arms, but can’t be
I want to stop breathing
I can’t deal with this pain anymore so now
…I’m going to stop breathing

Being one of the few in love and suffering pain I understand this with my heart and soul. My hand goes out to you to shake it because this poem is exactly how I feel when I am away from him and I lose my mind. I like your style a lot. Its sort of similar to mine because of the lack of poetic devices ( I love it ). You've aquired a fan.
