For when you've experienced heartbreak

When life distorts and pulls,
I have nobody else to see
that will hold only to me--
for all of me
The stars align in a new ornament
The moon whirls in a new way
Because of you,
I can make it through one more day
If you were to say to leave
I'd leave in a slump
I'd give you some space,
just enough to breathe
If you were to say to jump,
I'd jump in a second
so the last thing I'd drink in
would be you
After I traverse the rivers of life,
I'll cloak myself in a storm
and weep tears of salt,
stolen from the sea
But you'll be there waiting for me,
standing on a shore of broken glass
Because your words evoke me to realize
It was but one leap
Because of you
I can breathe through my nose
My lungs struggle to hold air
I so desperately need
Because of you
The only thing I want is to let go
So that I may once again be able to reach
But do I live?
Do I take a breath?
Only to die?
Only to leap again?
Because today--
Today is a new day
But not without you
If only it were with you
Author's Notes/Comments: 

I couldn't say I've experienced true heartbreak. If I have, I think I'm too young to realize it. I wrote this in the middle of the night after staring at the wall for what felt like an eternity. The words just came to me so I wrote them down. They don't have any meaning for me, at least not yet. It's not personal, but perhaps someday it will be.
