Breath and Bone Writing Prompt Challenge: My Breath & My Bones/Tremaine L. Loadholt

He does not look

At me anymore

I am damaged, ruined…

A shell with no stuffing–

I knew it would end, just

Not this way.

 

He came, thunder at night

Heavy with pauses

On unsure footing

I aimed for his heart

And missed.

 

Now I see him in

Pieces,

Hiding in shadows

That whisper in the night.

Miraculously, I find a pulse

In my feeble body,

Breaths steady

Bones cracking

I gave him

The biggest part

Of me

 

Yet, he shuffled

Away from the scene,

Crisp as new bills.

Love watched him

Disappear into thin air–

A modern day Houdini

 

Using every part of

Me as his magic

Trick.
