Breathe For You

I was sitting here with a writers block Because you were in my every thought My mind is overwhelmed with fear Of the thought of not having you near You were there from the moment I was born Always keeping me away from harm Whenever I didn’t have anywhere to go You lent me your place Whenever I needed a shoulder You let me cry Whenever I felt my hunger You gave me a plate And whenever I was hurt You helped me through And now I am tossing and turning every night Wishing I was at your side It is so hard watching you Knowing there is nothing I can do If I could breathe for you I would And I would take your pain if I could We expressed our love to each other today At least you listened to what I had to say I told you that you meant the world to me And you are like my second mommy I told you that this is hard for me And I don’t want to see you suffering Even though you know its time I cannot accept that in my mind You already told me it will be okay But I want to see you everyday We need to leave and let you sleep It took all my might just to leave So I blew you a kiss and said goodnight Knowing that I wouldn’t be sleeping tight And when you blew me a kiss back It felt like I was having a heart attack I wanted to take all your pain with me To let you rest peacefully You are an asset to this world Better than diamonds and better than pearls And to keep you here longer I would Breathe for you if I could
