My breath catches heavy
I cannot rest.
The ache within my heart,
a constant, dulling pain,
Like a boulder on my chest, that I cannot gain.
Each breath I take, a labored, heavy sigh,
As if the weight of sorrow threatens to deny
The air that I need, the life that I've known,
Leaves me gasping, helpless, all alone.
The world around me blurs, a hazy, gray hue,
As if the pain within my heart has stolen too
Leaving only this aching hue.
My heart
, a constant snare.
a constant refrain,
through every heavy sigh,.....
