Our souls need to breathe
They're not supposed to be stuck
in these bodies.
That's why our bodies eventually give out and
We "Die"
Our souls crave the sweet relief of exhaling,
some more than others.
Many times we seek this in drugs, alcohol and ***.
Other times we find it in the simplest of forms,
hidden in the corners of our lives,
entangled in the complexity of memory
or out in plain sight,
unnoticed my the eyes of strangers.
I've wandered and wondered all the way into your eyes.
That's where I can breathe.
That's where I'm free.
