Stolen Breath

Have you
Ever cried beneath the moon
The only light that welcomes you  
In the dark
And cold  
 
Have you
Ever been alone
No matter where you go
You're a ghost  
 
The hand
That used to hold the cards
Now worn and battle-scarred  
Only folds
 
Grasping for
The ones who gave you joy
Descended through the floors
Of heaven
 
Gasping for
That stolen breath of life
Gone before their time
It still chokes
Mine
