Punched
Breathing
Used to be involuntary
Begging
Is how I get air to my heart
Blood
From my nose
F
l
o
w
s
Down
My
Chin
And d
r
i
p
s
in red splats
On
The
White
Tile
Floor
Next to my black polished shoes
With a lone blade
Of green grass
Stuck to its
Sole
Your departure punched me in the face
Paralyzed my lungs
Breathing used to be
Involuntary
