Remembering to Breathe (by Martin H. For Lee)
You gave me
So much
And I took it all.
I gave you
So much
And you took it
ALL.
But now,
You’ve stopped wanting to take
And I’m left
High and dry
Without my best friend,
Son
Brother
Father
Lover
Partner.
Alone
And utterly numb
Utterly cut-up
Utterly alone
I AM hurting now
Not crying and letting it all
Hang out
Like you would.
But I am hurting
Deep inside
Numb and numbing
Took alcohol to bed
That first night
I hardly eat nowadays.
I stare blankly around me
With shutters shut tight
To communication
Forgetting to smile
But remembering to breathe
It’s over.
I lie here
Eyes closed
With daggers in my stomach
Cut-cutting and slicing and hacking me still
With shutters shut tight
To communication.
Forgetting to laugh
But remembering to keep
Keep

Breathing.
