One more breath. 3/27/04

I still forget what it feels like

Only a memory to console

Faint yet constant in my mind

You are the reason that my soul cannot unbind.

I’m bound to you by barbed wire

Rusted from the tears yet unbreakable.

I shiver under your cold hands from behind me

Your touch is unmistakable.

Every now and then when the sun fails to rise

I find myself apart from you

And stumble upon my own demise

Because living without you is death

And I remain comatose until the sun goes down and your shadow is before me

When you deliver me one more breath.
