The Breath of Love

to inhale seems a sin I've burdened you so much through my decisions a crime worthy of death but my love breathes for me my body has worn out it, like my head has surrendered to depression the most narcissistic of emotional states; but my heart won't let me die it has stored up memories of you as food to feed my weakened mind it takes control of my lungs against my will it inhales and exhales for me forcing me to fight my eyes dilate with this new rush of life as if my love for you grants me the ability to take in two breaths at once an extra ounce of air an extra ounce of life an extra ounce of strength to keep me living love powers me i cannot give in i love you far too much i know you're out there and i know you love me how can i give up? our love is keeping me going
