Once Again

Breaking down, I couldn’t breathe
My hands were numb, I started shaking
My vision blurred, I look through the tears
I see your words, you’re finally here.

Talking to me, the anger leaves my brain
And still shaking, I try to play this game
Trying to control, this evil called a disorder
While we're talking, and your making me smile.

You say to me so soft and sweet
Think of something that makes you happily weep
I cannot think of anything, full sentences escape my brain
You say to me, what makes you smile
“You” 
I tell you, is the only thing
I haven’t stopped thinking about you in a while.

You smile through our texts
And tell me that you’re glad
But because you can’t be here, you feel really bad
I say its okay, because I know I love you
We text for the day and I’m no longer blue
My disorder is messing me up
But you say a few words, and everything stops
Clarity comes, like right from heaven 
And it’s a miracle because I can breathe once again.
