My back is so sore From dragging along my burdened lungs I pant and wheeze Doing all i can to release All the weight i can But nothing ever seems To work My lungs tie themselves down Forgetting the chains they have on my blood So for each step That my foot drops down Each step That i nearly drop these lungs Let them sink And go I nearly drop myself And drown
I feel my chest constrict as panic settles in. "Go home! " I gasp "Go. Home. " I beg Eventually, she takes off. My heart is still pounding against my stiff chest. I breathe in. 10 seconds. I breathe out. 10 seconds. And repeat. And repeat. And repeat.
breathe.

Breathe Me In To You
You see me breaking and hold my face, Begging me to let my eyes shine like the Christmas lights That border my room. You try to fill back up my lungs despite the fact that they Can no longer hold air. You breathe your warmth in and out of my mouth To keep me alive. I am reliant on you for my each and every breath And without you my lungs would fall down inside of me like party streamers After prom night. Breathe your love into me forever because it is all I have.
breathe.

Breathe
Just breathe. I know she takes your breath away, I know your admiration Lies in her presence. But why her? Why not me?
And you know that shatters me, Me and my heart until, Very slowly, Nothing becomes of me.
So next time, Next time you forget To overwhelm those lungs of yours, Please let it be for me.
Let me subdue your thoughts, Vanquish your love for her, Be inevitable, And even breathe for you.
breathe.

Breathe the Little Dreams
Find me broken at the base of the stairs When I leapt but couldn't fly This ascendancy is tormenting me Leaves me too afraid to try To rise and then take a step again But to stay here is to die Seems I've wasted nights and days Tossing dreams across the rail Each sacrifice was worth the price Kill the little things before they fail But dreams die slow and now I know They breed nightmares that prevail So I'm face down on the culling floor Words in my mouth they beg release Gasping memories they cling to me The vendettas will not cease They want to live they can't forgive Until I give them wings and peace One more time I'll face it I'm climbing up that stair And I pray that light not darkness Is waiting somewhere up there. 110209 Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time. ~Mark Twain ~
Do we breathe the same air twice? Do we breathe the same carbon dioxide back into our lungs, and do our lungs hate the air and that's why we exhale? When people tell us the inhale the future, and exhale the past, wouldn't we just inhale the past again? Is this why it's so hard for me to get over you? Am I the lungs running away from how I feel for you? Because I ran towards the past once. Today, actually. I feel worse. I feel like all I am breathing is carbon dioxide. And it's killing me. I love you, but you kill me.
We do not breathe a moment unloved Though pain unjust The most fearful kind Swallows us whole Torso and soul Cognition and mind This human realm Heaven and hell together Joined at the root Ignorance a mountain walked upon ( we not looking down ) Anger desire burning the house Bewilders blinds defends and Shrouds the truth now Is not the end ultimate Manifestation of Perceptivity we But ancestors of those to be Who shall see upright in spirit Forebears dreaming They are the highest form A dazzling appearance i agree Yet so far to go The best is not we Evolve a bit more i think
