Breathless

You're the kind of heartbreak that I can feel on every inch of my body, until the deepest core of my heart. A pain clawing its way out of my ribcage, wanting to put physical scars at my skin. It's suffocating me, squeezing the life out of my chest.

Leaving me breathless as I watch you slowly slip away from me—my hands are numb with the overwhelming cold that seeped through the empty spaces between my fingers that were once intertwined with yours.

And my mind wonders, if is it the right choice to let go of a painfully beautiful love I didn't think I deserve?
