#24

I hear you in the songs i listen to,
with every paltry attempt to wallow in the rhythm,
to drown out flashes of you in my head,
reiterating the catchy chorus in a hum.

I feel you in  the oxygen that fills up my lungs,
they asphyxiate me as i respire,
just like how you take the breath out of me,
and you give it back in the nick of time.

I see you in  a crowded place awash with a sea of unfamiliar faces
looking back with pleading eyes,
As i stand in raw vulnerability watching you make your way,
but then i woke up.
