Air

You don’t feel anything over your body sucking the air away from you, yet you feel suffocated. Why does it have to end like this? You are in love, that isn’t something that will change, but love needs as much air as a hot air balloon needs. It needs to be swaddled and cared for; it can’t just be left out to rot. You thought this would last longer than it has. But when you are being suffocated like a child that doesn’t know better and sticks their head inside a grocery bag just cause it looks fun you have to get away. Run as far away as you possibly can. Don’t look back it will only make it harder, just keep going until you find that one that can replant your heart in clean unbroken soil. Don’t let yourself be suffocated. You deserve better than that. ©Jessica E Meyers2009
