Punched



Breathing
Used to be involuntary
Begging
Is how I get air to my heart

Blood
From my nose

F

Down
My
Chin
And d

        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

I felt the punch in my gut when I read this. Excellent writing.

I am in the mood to change my tree to a cubic version.
