Breathing Dark

It isn’t words I fear to breathe
Breathe   breathe
Breath of life
Living language life’s blood
Blood   blood
Bloody words

It isn’t love I fear to touch
Speak  speak
Living love 
And words that breathe lie
Still   still
Breath of blood

It isn’t life I fear to speak
Words   words
Loving still
And love that bleeds so
Dark   dark
Dying heart
