You Make Breathing the Hardest Thing

You pushed me to the brink,
the very last edge
I've never fallen before, now it's all I know.
I'm broken but breathing,
at least for now.

Your name
tastes bitter on my tongue,
brings tears to my eyes.
Treason seems more fitting.
Why, darling, I thought you'd agree.

You took everything.
Bottled up my heart,
tossed it out to sea
I'm broken but breathing,
for a few more minutes.

I cannot sleep,
I dare not cry,
My smile is fake,
I'll keep you locked here,
inside.

I'll close my eyes,
forget you one last time.
I'm broken,
not breathing,
not anymore.
