Long Breath

A woman gaining her freedom after the man she loved is gone from her life.

Long Breath
by AAron R. Stovall

Drawing a breath,
the first real one in a long while,
no more shallow breaths
since now you're gone,
it has been way to long,
as long as I live
I will never again
hold my breath for another man,
my breath will
always be released
from now on,
since you can't
hold me closed in
no more,
Long Breath
set me free,
as long as I
breathe.
