We are a tumble of breaths,
Each not knowing where one starts and one ends.
with your every inhale, my ribs are pulled in,
And in my every exhale it is your breath I smell on me,
We are so close, we share the same air.
Walk away
There’s a disaster waiting to happen
Of a magnitude only the heartbroken
Will understand.
Look away
Avert your eyes from the carnage
A parade of lovers in their carriage
Taunting the bereaved.
Run away
But still, the stench of despair
Will follow you anywhere.
How long the day.

She’ll break the rules
She’ll use all tools
To make you glance
To take a chance
She’ll fill your mind
With words so kind
Put you at ease
Show skin to tease
Be smart, be cute
Spout words of truth
She’ll be your all…
But please don’t fall.
Fall from her grace,
And you will face
A wild banshee
A thrashing tree
She’ll kick, she’ll bite
Howl in the night
Don’t cross her path,
Incur her wrath,
My heart’s no fool
She’ll break all rules.
