Between Breaths

Within everything unsaid between breaths 
silent tears begin to make a soft slide; 
As you fasten your lips on mine I moan 
every touch is heightened and so intense;  
Said I didn’t want you, turns out I lied;
The truth hidden in a nonchalant tone
eased up to hide the weight that they carry; 
Broke off a piece of me left it inside 
now you will never truly be alone; 
Gasp with me in wonderment of every 
                      unknown.
