exhale
and
inhale
as i
watch
my own
chest
rise
and fall.
i never wanted to thank you,
for things anyone else could do,
the way i knew everything
else was special
because you would never do them.
i never thought this would just fade.
maybe end but not fade,
i never realised you
were simply nothing to lose.
it feels like dust in my palms,
and with some regret -
i blow you away.

I think the title and poem are ironic when you bring them together. the title suggests vainty but the poem suggests strength at being at peace with one's self and letting go of the people who don't matter anymore.
I loved the first stanza, A LOT. The way you formatted it was just perfect. It gave an extra flare to your words and they way they should fall into the reader's mind and sink into the soul. I thought that was something really beautifully done.
This piece has a lot of class and dignity and that makes it so fierce.
