Air- Keishianna McCarthy




I can't breathe
I feel a bit numb
in the place where the beat should be steady
Has it increased to a rapid hum?
I feel my chest rise and fall
but I still lie unsure
of my current consciousness
My eyes slowly water
my knees give in
Is this reality
Is this fantasy
Your scent fills my nostrils
I can't breathe
my entire body quivers
a woman in the body of a young girl
for the first time in like,
in love, in lust, is lost
in the moment
Can you see my soul
Can you feel my fear
Can you help me to stop
falling
fearing
fighting
I can't breathe
you took all my air.
