He asked me if I miss the taste of ichor.
I took a deep drag of the cigarette
Smoke curling in my lungs,
I reply, "I can still taste the blood on my lips
Where he bit me hard."

One, two, three, going round and round again
You're set free by the time I count to ten
Seven, eight, nine, ready, ready, here it comes
Breathe in all your worries,
just drown 'em out your lungs

My lungs go overload every time I look at you. So, I have to delete all of your pictures to breathe.

Blackout
From the inside and outside
Give it a little bit of shake
And come across
The mystery of what is inside
Blackout
From the top to bottom
Give it a little bit of pat
And come across
The soothing sound of what is inside
Blackout
From the bloods to waters
Give it a little bit of care
And come across
The worldly feelings kept inside
Blackout
From the lungs to the ribs
Give it a little bit of love
And come across
A hidden light inside
That is my heart
Craving and breaking
For your dark heart to gleam
For my desolate insides

The hemlock growing within my heart is poisoning me inside out and my lungs wrapped in barb wires is suffocating me to death.

Repeat
it felt like-
getting punched in the gut
and have the air
knocked out of my lungs
premonitions
on history's reoccurance
but this time
the blood is on my hands
©audyfifth10 0shivaniiii__ 82w
1) At 4 p.m., I want to swallow my whole heart as I think of you. Your sighs block my windpipe and for a split second I want to claw my own throat, just to hear you say my name for the last time.
2) There is a strange restlessness within me,every time I breathe. There are words lodged in my lungs that I can't cough out.
I've tried so many times, and I'm still trying but nothing seems to work anymore. Nothing feels right anymore. I'm afraid you've ruined me.
3) You've ruined me. I say it as an accusation but really I am honoured. Out of everyone you chose me. My friends have started calling me crazy.
They don't understand and I can't explain. How do I tell them that every act of violence now feels like mercy to me?
4)For so many moons, I have crushed the pages of my notebook to make room for you. I begin painting them with your scent and I stop halfway-
Never truly coming back to finish it.
Rather,I read now. I read Eliya, I read Kafka, I read Nida Fazli so that I don't have to write.
If I don't,then I'm afraid I'll find out you're too alive for me to cage in my metaphors.
5) Whenever I meet someone, I have an overwhelming need to savor every moment. I still haven't mastered the art of taking slow sips, I think it's time for another one of your weekly wine sessions.
But you're not here anymore, so I pick it up the half-moon whiskey glass on my table to drink it all in one breathe, yet I never let it brush my lips.
Time isn't infinite and I'm afraid I'm running short of it.
6) There is a type of poems that are numbered. I've always loved them more. It is important to know when something begins and when it ends because I've been writing about you for quite a while now, but I'm afraid I can't see the end. I'm afraid. constantly.
And see,fear is nothing new but it sure looks different.
A white shirt, grey pants, half-lit cigarette and a broken Billy Joel signed guitar.
7) Maybe I should write a numbered poem about you too.
8) I wish I knew you well enough to tell my friends how you've dismantled all my defended and now my body doesn't quite feel like my own. It wakes up to your thoughts and and at night, they unfurl around me, gently rubbing their fingers through my hair.
My mind has become an old rusty machine that refuses to move past you. Please.
I'm begging you now. I'm too young to feel this way.
9) It's 2:37 am here. Blood's rushing through my ears, I can hear my heart thundering wildly, my breathing is sounding more rushed and hurried and my wrist has started throbbing with how my hard I'm clutching onto this pen, I can't seem to stop, this ink isn't black, isn't blue, isn't red, it's all you.
Just you.
10) I need help and I need to realise that it doesn't look like you wrapping your arms around me.
I have to stop writing now.
12) It's 4 a.m. and it's easier to breathe. I want to spit my heart out of my ribcage because it refuses to listen to me.
I feel like I'm back in my garage, a 6-year old throwing a tantrum again-
"I don't want it. No. No.
I refuse. I can't."
13) I start coughing.
14)__.

Each lung contains 300-350 million respiratory units called alveoli.
©factcircle10 0Freedom is being able to breath in fresh air not polluted by the society's smoke.

Last breath
Lungs struggling
Gasping
Last breath not far
Alone
Where is everyone?
Scrambled memories
Caring strangers surround
Medical machine glimmers
Whispering life
Will I wake?
Thoughts in tattered dark.
©james_taumas0 0Dear soul,
I know iam selfish to dream about the sensational miracle,
Deeply hardcored in my lungs
Someday it'll light up into an adorable blossom
Wherein all the butterflies could scent!

Searching for Freedom
I dreamed of the spring winds and pink blossoms ,
With smoke in my lungs ,
In a futile reality ,
Within I sensed freedom .
©nandu_das4 0yellowroses 128w
Rain pours
Droplets hit the ground
Loudly now I hear the sound
Heal our world, our dirt, our soil
Hear us nature through our toil
Fires burn and creatures churn
Flames engulf each and every turn
Rain that pours our breath of life
To our country collected, keep us alive
The earth full of cracks
The sky full of smoke
The climate we rely on attacks us we choke,
Our lungs each day in pain we choke,
Rain pours from the sky
Our souls in joy we fly
When all around we die.

That's how i want to survive. I want your light to never leave my calloused skin even if it cracks all those unspoken thoughts this petty little soul has.

Cut out my heart
Cut out my tongue
Cut out my eyes
Cut out my lungs
They were only for you anyway

As your breath filled my lungs,
The aroma of your body delighted me.
As if we are not two but one,
Entangled and shielded with string called love.

Today ,
the sun doesn't burn my skin
he has been calmer
hiding behind the clouds .
I cease the sun rays to touch
my core.
I was breathing but with
no air in my lungs. .
It felt like the pain infuse itself
with the wind .
Living and dying equally
at the same time ,
I wear my scars like a crown
of thorns .
Oh but the full red moon ,
burning brighter than the sun
he kissed me with his
glistening rays.
I like the smell of the unnatural
silence he brings.
Always putting me on the
edge of my soul.
He let his love reach me
in the form of moonlight
or rain ,
falling onto my skin .

Fragile
Percussion heart
Failing to keep beat
Suffocating-
Air instrument lungs
Choking on words
Caught in vocal cords
Breathless-
The choir struggles to sing

Lungs
My lungs hurt
I can't breathe
They tell me to relax
But I'm underwater
Drowning
I feel water replace my air
I suffocate
I'm quiet
They say that I'll be fine
But I have my doubts
I fall
They say they'll catch me
Even though they're hours away
Part of me wants to trust
There's water in my eyes
My lungs no longer work
My legs break against the rocks
Fish enjoy my carcass
They certainly did
Catch me.
