My Breath

With a dying breath I realize I’m the one holding the blade The one to my heart and veins I really thought it was you Until I opened my eyes You, standing there gasping “My Love, what have you done” With a dying breath I realized I was in your arms, tranquil to the world outside . . . No I wouldn’t die today I thought with a smile You are my breath My only life I’ll survive today, For I realized, You're my heart, soul and lungs And I’m holding your dying breath in my lungs I’ll stay alive for I am scared Of the damages you will bear I’ll stay alive for you, my dear I’ll be here until all becomes clearer.
