Breathless...

You leave me
stranded upside down
observing the meniscus
at the water's edge
above my feet
in disorientation

The abyss yawns
below my head
in the fading light
where I see
nothing good

Yet I swim
Down to you
and away
from the air
I relied on

They say
you can be
my lungs

You can
exhale
and I
will never be...

Breathless
