Air

Sometimes when someone leaves
they leave a hole.
a big gaping void,
of where they used to be.
and sometimes
it feels like you’re in a room
and when they walk out they take all the air with them.
and you are standing there and there is no air,
and there is no them because they are gone, they left you.
left you,
left the room and,
you took my air and I couldn’t breathe-and there was a void.
and I didn’t have air, and
it hurt.
and I tried to fill it as best I can.
even though it didn’t work I tried.
I tried to find new air.
And now that you are back, And you brought the air you took.
I can feel my lungs begging and my heart aching to let you back in,
and I want to breathe you in but
I don’t know if I should.
I don’t know if I can breathe the air you took with you anymore.
