Could I live with out you
Is there any other way
Somehow stored up to accrue
Save you for a rainy day

When breaths are tight and shallow
They're barely coming in
Days when it's hard to swallow
The thoughts that never end

Or maybe I can use you
when I can't catch a breath
because I'm "craughing" and turning blue
laughing and crying forgetting to breathe

Can I hold you for as long as I want
Discharge you of your duties while I sleep
and slowly drag you when I'm ready to hunt
May I not lose control when I weep

Breath. How is it that you sustain
Yet you can also be deprived
What else must you gain
So that you can thrive

Why do you keep leaving me curled up gasping and crying? Where have you gone that you cannot move freely through me as you did before? I miss you breath. I need you. I feel worn out and exhausted after 8 hours of sleep. It's not the same it's like an imitation that has expired and if it's my airways that are too small I won't make it unless I have the real thing. A breath of fresh air to save me from this nightmare that has taken hold. Come soon I don't know how much longer this imitation will hold.
