Breathe

Breahte, breathe
I sometimes forget
I inhale
And don't exhale

Oxygen
Abscent, lacking
Ever important
How can I forget

Your reflection
In a window
In a puddle
In a spoon

All it takes
For me to inhale
And not exhale
Merely tremble

Your skin
Ever pale
Ever smooth
Ever just beneath my fingertips

And I
Forget to breathe
In and out
No air

Breathe, breathe
I'm reminded
By your kiss
And when you breathe

Life in me
