Bubble Dweller

When you exhale
Into my life
I become
Nothing more
Than
A bubble dweller

Sometimes you inflate
My dwelling with
gentle whispers
Of wind...

Increasing my self
Esteem with every
Every breath

I rely on you
For my
Habitat

But is this fair?
What if you're not
Conscious?

What if you
Forget
I live here?

What if you get
tired of blowing 
Bubbles?

Will I 
Cease to
exist?


Does my 
happiness
depend on

The strength 
Of your
Lungs?

I long to be
Free
Outside the transparent
Walls

Connected to 
More than
Just you


At last my dwelling 
Has bursted
I'm independent
Of you


Now you are
The proud owner
Of a bursted
bubble

Please morn me
And wish it wasn't
Over

Reload your
bubble making gun
Gently breath
In my solution

Until I pop
Find new life
For I am a bubble dweller

And you are
An engineer
Of bubbles
