I stole your lungs

I stole your lungs
and locked them inside
my heart box.

you can breathe
inside me
and
we can play
hide and seek
like I'm lost
until you find me

isn't it scary
how we
let others
change
the way
our hearts
beat
although
I know
my body
would reject me
if I took
somebody else's

every panic attack
every outcry
every scream
from a fit of rage
in my car
at night
going 65
when the world thinks
I'm just fine

am I living a lie
inside a room
of tinted windows

I can't keep this here
suffocating
in my chest

who am I to think
we breathe
the same

my heart
attacks
every
twenty-seven
seconds

blink twice if you're okay with that.
