Drowning
I couldn't breath,
I felt like my lungs would collapse,
And I am being suffocated,
I couldn't breathe
Yet I stood, at the top of the balcony,
Filled with plentiful of fresh air,
Yet I couldn't breathe .
It has been an ongoing battle,
Between the broken me that kills the I inside,
The broken pieces that dominate the peace in my head,
I couldn't breathe
I wanted a little bit of love,
A little bit of light,
A little bit of warmth,
Thou the frostbite was getting cold,
For the darkness I love, my love, my poison.
I couldn't breathe.
Walked at the edge of the tall mirage,
And for the first time I felt it,
The sweet touch of oxygen,
And a flash of what was once my life,
Near the end I felt light,
For I was free,
But I couldn't breathe.
