breathing imitates life
so i guess when im alone
i try to exhale
even while i sit
like a stone
in the middle of my room
my eyes closed
trying to forget everything
but it never stops stinging
you dont think you hurt me
thats why i let you live
to you we were nothing
so your life is all i can give
you deserve to live
to never know the path i walk
the fears and nightmares
that make me stutter when i talk
grasping at feeling
like a hand holding chalk
darkly dreaming
of the kind of meaning
that only lovers know
when i remember
every whisper of love
that never grew
from you
always it will be you
in the midnight sweat that i cant shake
ill see your face
every time im awake
from something i cant fight
that not even the light of day
can take away
i know inside
ill never lose the hold
you have over me
i know that someday
will never be the day i wake up free
