Gasping For Air

You have always taken my breath away From the very first day we met Now once more you have me gasping for air For I cannot breathe you have taken my love away I have tried to inhale the air you have left My lungs have been emptied and I have regrets I have tried to find a new ventilator with no success You have unplugged me from the wall you have taken it all My heart has been flat lined with no indication of your return No signs of life a tag has been placed on my toe I have lost my heat and now have become very cold Please bring me back to life put your paddles on my chest I cannot survive without you
