[bodytext] => Comforting arms morph into a straightjacket
And its hold will not let go
Paralyzed in mind and body
She lacks the strength
She lacks the will,
She lacks the hope—to let it go

Its grip too strong around her chest
There’s a suffocating heart inside
Only one way for it to turn to red from blue
And that’s his affection—revived anew

Only his love
Will resuscitate it enough
For the blood to pump
Just once again

Another touch—
Another beat
Another touch—
Another gasp
Just one kiss—
And she’ll inhale life
Just one breath,
And she’ll breathe too.

She speaks of tears and hurt,
Of a dilapidated heart.
Only two ways to alleviate the pain
One is him.
The other death.
And she’s already traced a vein…

With his permission
She’s set free
A noose of braided fantasies
Emancipated, for all eternity
But there’s a chain
Around her ankle
Imprisoning her, to misery.

But, with another touch—
There’s another beat,
Another touch—
Another gasp
Just one kiss—
And she’ll inhale life
Just one breath—
And she’ll breathe too

Once a stare that elicited smiles
Now will only bring a storm
And rain pour out
—Tainting trembling lips
A thunder, her choked sobs

She’s been poisoned
He’s got the cure—
She’s been poisoned—
He is he cure
But the price is much too high
And grandiose wishes cannot afford to buy

Another touch—
Another beat
(Fallen shards of a shattered heart)
Another touch—
Another gasp
(Oh intertwined they’re a work of art)
Just one kiss—
And she’ll inhale life
Just one breathe—
And she’ll breath too—

It’ll turn her heart to red from blue,
A merited bliss long overdue

Breathe, darling

hey, you commented me - and i thank you much.

yes, i still play soccer, and still write a bunch, although not as much. quality over quantity, i think.

and wow. this... this write is amazing. definitely missed you on here! lol. it's.. touching? it's realistic, yet in a very unrealistic, fantasy kind of way. if that makes sense. lots of imagery, pain - yet hope?

any way.. i like it.

i see this is posted under song lyrics, so it's difficult to really assess or comment on this, but it seems to me you really have a clue as to what you're doing and that you have a way with the word. please, if you have the time and the inclination, write me direct at jyamrus@aol.com and send me some of yr poetry to look at. i'd love to see what else you have. send it as a file or copy/paste into an e-mail.
i'd love to read more.
best.

Hi, You commented on my poem
Putting on The Smile earlier and I like to repay the compliment. This is my first day on this site. Anyway I went to your poem list and found that you had just posted this today after some break. It seems to me that if you can break off and come back with something like this then you have a natural talent. It is very emotional and for my first read I give it top marks.
