Still Hard To Breathe


Here I go.
   Feeling weak again.
The bones under reconstruction
   Start to give in.
I can’t stop wondering
   How long this will last.
I gotta leave the thought alone
   And put my broken heart
   Back in its cast.

Why can’t I give in?
   All I want is to give up.
My eyes miss your presence,
   But we’ve both had enough.
Please stop thinking about you.
   I’m sure you’ve quit with me.
I keep telling myself I’ll be better later,
   Still it’s just so hard to breathe.
