Breathe

by Kalie M   Mar 13, 2008


Pause, breathe, and collect this thickening air
trying so hard to stay standing without care
time is passing but this life will never grow
this air is tempting to be all i want to know
gasping and gasping, don�t breathe fully in
but this trap is so beautiful, where i want to live
yet this can�t be safe, unless you�re here with me
this can�t be safe, are you breathing fully?
lovely, caring, desire, emotion
lay me down softly, this air is your potion
breathing in will greatly effect how i stand
i�m slowly falling as you gently grasp my hand
terrified of being broken if life runs out of air
dependant on a breath that may not even be there
holding air tightly, giving in would be weak
as you breathe with such words you perfectly speak
and your eyes tell me this life will be wonderfully fine
as i breathe in and fall deeply; the mistake is all mine
