Lately, Sometimes

Lately, sometimes
I think I’m done
With life and everything else
Stopping to think, I’m crushed
Until I look into the lives
Of those who have faced real loss
Not that mine isn’t true
Sure, my heart doesn’t beat anymore
But I know that someday
Someone will bring me back to life
In the back of my mind
I hope that someone will be
You
But I won’t hold my breath
I wouldn’t want to suffocate
