Oxygen thief

This poem was written about someone I cared about dearly.

Today I will roll out of bed , and down on my knees 

Because you have grasped at the very oxygen in my lungs

You have reached into my soul and extinguished any sense of happiness or life I still possessed 

You held my mind in your hands, captive with thoughts of you.

I observe the crowd and your face catches my eye

My chest tightens like a helium balloon stretched so far, it may burst.

Today I will wake up with swollen eyes from angry tears from the night before

Each tear represented a time you hurt me and last night was a storm

Author's Note

ignore grammar problems, I wrote this in the spur of the moment.
