breathless

by phoenixv2

I have always known how to breathe, but around you I am breathless. I have always known how to feel, but with you I can’t place it. At times I feel safe with you, I want to hold you close and never let go. Then other times I want to hurt you or myself or anything else to keep from screaming. The sun and the moon were always set to collide, but I have never felt more at home in your shadow. You call me magic but you are wrong. I am no god or angel or otherworldly being, I am human, it is all I have ever known. Gods and angels would know how to feel or they wouldn’t feel at all. I may have power running through my veins but against you I am powerless. Blood may flood my chest, but if you are the cause then I will call it nothing less than ecstasy. I was always the boy with enough air in my lungs, but with you I am utterly breathless.
