Sometimes my hand meets my leaping throat
in a fleeting greeting,
keeping sure I'm still breathing,
still beating a pulse in my leaking veins.
I actually do this sometimes :B But only at night for some reason, after I'm in bed. I'm not sure why I need the reminder :XD:

It was going to be prose, but then I noticed I had an internal rhyme and decided to go all the way.

Ooooo, this is such a lovely piece!

So, what's defined as an internal rhyme? I was never very good at vocabulary ^^;

But I really love this piece. I, too, can really picture the scene it conjures up and I love the light description and the word choice you went into. Your work just breathes an air of refreshing and it's so lovely :iconawwwplz:

I sometimes do this type of thing myself XD
And I like the title, it's very fitting and captures the poem well

:heart:
