It’s been two hours,
I’m trying not to let the sadness bombard
Wondering how to heal this heart so scarred
My body gasps for air, but it’s too hard
It’s been two hours, and I want to stop breathing
It’s been two days,
I’m worn out from the sleep denied me
From the fullness of the pain inside me
When I’m as empty as the bottle of Jack beside me
It’s been two days, wondering why I bother breathing
It’s been two weeks,
I said I wouldn’t write another word
About you and all that has occurred
Yet fresh tears making new lines blurred
It’s been two weeks, the hurt tells me I’m barely breathing
It’s been two months,
No longer needing Mister Daniels to cope
For the first time not wanting to wallow and mope
Resolving to end this broken heart trope
It’s been two months, and yet I’m still breathing
Hell yes, I’m still breathing…
Ha! This is so clever! There is pain but strength – very good! k.
