Breathless

I would so like to be able to breathe;  
To realise your love's a memory;      
Your words stay beautiful, but they have ceased    
To mean my heart aches on; predictably,    
It was intense and deep; you loved my want;    
You seeded me with faith to keep me straight;    
My heart beat faintly while it bore the brunt    
Of all the senses you stole to create    
Firm barriers to hold ideas constrained;    
To force my heart to impasse; when I halt,    
It never pours, but it has always rained;    
Slowly I learned this climate was your fault;    
You've built me up so much I now believe    
You'll fucking hate it when I have to breathe.
