Breathe Me Something Beautiful Poem by Maya Hanson

Exhale and I'll inhale
something I've never seen
but always wanted to,
this life I wish was lasting.

Breathe me something beautiful.

Maybe this can make up for
all the lies we've spun like fools
pretending not to notice
each other burning down
in all the silver spider silk

Soon we'll be wrapped up,
set on fire
but no matter,
this silk wraps my fingers like lace
If I was going to choose a way to go
it would be like this,
with you
surrounded by beauty.

I've run in so many circles
waiting for you
Maybe this can make up for
all the sunsets we've missed.

So as we slip from this silk so fast
as we
exhale
inhale
Breathe me something beautiful.
