For Samantha : Sympathy for the wicked.

My heart beats in your breath.

In and out
but not so much
as a whisper to me.
Have you forgotten
how I chased away your demons?

Maybe I became one.

Too smart to be
with me.
Too good.
Too perfect.

Those eyes, the color
of the ocean
washing over new lovers
in the sand.
Lips like a sunset.
Hair like midnight
in a rose garden.

I fell once
and forever.
A life dependent
on another life.
Everytime you breathe
you save me.

I wish, I wish.
