When you would walk <br />into a room, looking <br />me in the eyes was <br />deadly. <br /> <br />The air in my lungs <br />would evaporate <br />with my pupils plugging <br />into your pupils. <br /> <br />My heart's beat would be <br />bouncing off the walls and <br />slamming into my ear drums, <br />causing an emotional headache. <br /> <br />A <br />N <br />D <br />N <br />O <br />W <br /> <br />When you are around me <br />my heart's beat is inaudible, <br />a cold draft hits me from my toes <br />to the roots of my hair. <br /> <br />You left, closing the door behind you. <br />Leaving me with the poison in your eyes. <br /> <br />And now, I stand here, overcome <br />with the blessing I have been gifted with... <br />a second chance at <br />love, happiness, dreams come true, <br />and most importantly, <br />Life.<br /><br />Chelsea DeVries<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-breathe-and-now/
