Release of Breath

Breath girl...
deep breaths
make those spots stop dancing
in front of your eyes,
Yes, it hurts to breath
but you have to.

Like you didn't know this
nasty truth
dished up steaming?
And yes, one thing to know,
quite another to have your nose
rubbed in it so far
you can smell another woman's perfume.

So you tried not to breath,
only now the room is spinning,
and your chest is fireknots,
and every gift you had been given
was a cracker jack prize
bought by the gross,
and what you held precious
is nothing more
then shiny tinsel.

I love you means nothing
when it was a lure
and every other fish in the pond
had a taste of something
he swore was yours alone.
But I'm not a small mouth bass,
and i can give up nasty habits
and addictions.
Just let me release my breath---
and there.
You are gone with not a bang,
and not a whimper.
Peddle your papers elsewhere Son---
I sold myself too cheap.
And now?
You can't afford me.
