Gasping For Air

I thought it’d take a mountain A mountain moved and climbed A thousand games of hide & seek Before I’d ever find The answer to the question All-knowing, holy truth Will I ever get over what happened Will I ever stop loving you It’s quite simple really Too often overthought By those who’ve loved and those who’ve not And those who wish they never had There is no end, Only evaporation The love mists into false disappearance But it is still there Still lingering in every breath For love is like oxygen Fuel for the soul Fuel for the body who will never be whole Without their missing piece again

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
