Ever since I got asthma
I feel like I've lost part of me
Every time I run
Every time I lift
My lungs break down on me

Ever since I got asthma
A part of me is stuck in the inhaler
No mater how many puffs
No matter how many breathes
It will always be there
This was in my drafts for awhile so I said whatever lets publish it.
Cold have been my dreams of late,
Petty reflection upon my cruel fate,
Sleepless, brutal, unyielding rest it became,
Wicked Sand Man, my dreams he cannot tame,

Loss of home,
Friendless, alone,
To be cradled I beg upon a concrete sky,
Hear my convictions I cry,

With familiar despair I plea to the night,
Hear it as a prayer forthright,

Partless promises, painfully I ponder...

I but cold, petty, sleepless, wicked from loss,
Pray upon a soulless cross,
"May the devil of my dreams hold me tight",
A feeling of embrace I might,

Alone I invoke, may being alone calm,
For what am I, me alone, but a matchless palm,
I, me alone, an uncharasmatic charm,

For what are you and I but heartless and broken,
You and I but restless souls eternally woken,

Awake I shall remain,
As you the same,

Death at night peaceful it now seems,
The only cure to the poison of my dreams.
