I CAN'T BREATHE WITHOUT YOU

i have never felt
so extremely helpless
ever before in my life
we’re so close
yet so far
this distance
it’s making me feel
so terribly out of control
like i’m gasping for air
but i just can’t place my lungs

i’m in love with you
i need you to love me too

i am tired
sick
broken
due to this agonising hole in my heart
that you’ve left
that you’re increasing the size of
each day

and i do not know
what to do about it

because
you’re my life
and i simply can’t seem to walk away
