BREATH
My breath baffles me
Comes in, goes out
Particular rhythm
Sometimes it rasps
And my lungs ache
My body falls apart
All because of breath
Is my breath not my breath
Is it just another you
Are my lungs really my heart
Is my body my mind
All the similarities point to yes
But that doesn't mean a thing
Symbolism is lost on me
So why do I waste my time
Icy or warm
Depends on the situation
It can be scrubbed clean
But left alone begins to reek
Begins to wreak
Havoc on everything around me
You have a softer scent
I haven't inhaled in so long
You're so perfect to me
But I never see you
And my world is thrown
Into upheaval
Why are you doing this to me
I breath in, breath out
And everything is better
When I write it all away
To put aside for another day
Breath in
Think of you
Breathe out
Release to get over you
But I keep breathing
Suffocation is my only escape
Can you suffocate me
Breathe in
Forefront
Breathe out
Back of mind
Breathe in
Here you are
Breathe out
Drifting away
Breathe in
I love you
Breathe out
I miss you
Breathe in
Why do I need to
Breathe out
Nature's cruelty
