I needed him as surely as I needed My heartbeat

A used his lungs for air

codependency not good for them

but they didn’t care

For every step he shadowed hers and used his nose to smell

His hands to touch, his young to taste, his voice to talk and yell.

inseparable like Siamese twins, a love like theirs was real

Touch like leather, clear as glass and unbreakable like steel.
