Am I Alive

My hands are searching for you My thoughts will linger on you. I feel you on me fingertips Your name dances behind my lips. This fire burns throughout my being Your presence I'm not used to seeing. The angels tell me I'm alone with you I'm alone and they all choose you. Am I alive? Your arms wrap around me And you whisper you love me. This water is so unforgiving Clawing into a heart that's missing. Am I alive? Farther down I drift I pray your blow swift. Take my hand, I give it to you. I give it to you, all I am. Am I alive? You told me you would never leave me And I believe you, I believe. You say it'll be alright But I just want to give up the fight. Am I alive?
