Asphyxi-waiting

*You're like a book I never want to put down,

where every page I turn pulls me deep into a place

where I realize that turning back for air

would be an impossible journey to make.

So I've accepted this as my fate.

There is no plan B, in fact there isn't even a plan A.

I've exhausted all those options.

I'm to the point where the only letter

I care about making plans for is U.

If you took just a glace at my latest chapter,

you'd see every letter, word, and sentence is this.

People are getting tired of hearing it but

I am far from tired of letting people know that

I am done with dreaming only in my sleep.

I must become the dream

where you draw the inspiration from

that keeps your quill in motion.

I want to live in your story

like every day was never-ending.

Just please don't ask me to be your knight in shining armor

because I don't care how shiny it is,

I'm never going to wear it when I have you in my arms.

And I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't completely scared of that idea,

but a long time ago I made a vow to scare myself at least once day.

And I'm not saying that you're simply just a means to an end,

I'm trying to say that you are the end and

I feel bad for whatever means to get in my way to reaching you.

Scared? You bet your *** I am.

But I think that's just the universe's way of breathing life back into me.

So let me fall deeper into your pages

till I am left without any air in my lungs

and I begin to see stars,

because your universe now

is the only place I care to draw breath from.*
