My Air

If you left

I always believed
the air would choose you
over me

repeatedly
I let you hurt me
just for the sake

of breathing

painfully suffocating; still
somehow dying; gasping

for the air
that is you

never knowing
it was you
who took
from me

now you’re gone
the air picked me
and you
are the one
unable to breathe
