One swift breath and I take you in,
Laughing at the irony of the calm that it brings,
Never remembering a time when I felt you this way,
Recalling my indifference, as I watched you slip into decay.

I know this is your moment, but its really about me,
and how I stood there and did nothing, while you were struggling to breathe,
Dont know - when looking down - if you would call me a friend,
or as one of the many who tripped on your bitter end.
