Breathless

December 15th, 2009 by J.R. Miller Leave a reply »

Head full of folly
Mind full of wishes
Alive in my skin but quiet in my soul
Heart paused and waiting between beats
… breathless

Time running onward
Time running out
Weight of my history settling into past
Waiting under shadows of the might’ve-beens
… breathless

Life moving forward …
… Life standing still
breath moving in …
… breath moving out
Watching and waiting as she strolls to another
… breathless …

my heart beating
my heart breathless
my heart clenching
my heart breathless
… I wait … breathless
