I don't have asthma
but I can't breathe

I gasp for a breath,
but the air wont enter my chest

This just isn't fair
breathing air that isn't there
when everyone around me is fine
I thought I'd be okay
without you not being mine

But my emotions just stopped,
delayed by time.
But now they come back in a flood
and I can't balance,
standing on perfectly steady ground,
but my head is spinning around

with the thought of you
sitting behind where I stand,
when I need you next to me,
holding me hand.
