getting the wind knocked out

You appeared suddenly

Like a mirage.

 

You consumed the space around me until I couldn’t see through

Like fog, dense in my chest and vision

 

You became the air I breathed

The intoxication was warm and addictive.

 

As suddenly as you materialized, you left

The apparition was gone

 

And I was left gasping for the air you breathed into me.
