Oxygen

Oxygen

I’m breathing oxygen into my bones.

How can I help myself, when I cannot love alone?

Bubbles flow through every wire;

Microbubbles flow through every vein.

I need to breathe your love into my heart,

So I can feel alive once again.

Broken thoughts wait to be repaired

And understood,

Until they appear in your view.

Waiting on a memory to come into focus;

Do I whisper or shout a prayer?

I would make my destiny appear to be in my hands,

If I only knew…

All I see are random images.

Random pictures, random memories,

Written down like a crossword clue;

I breathe out my thoughts, as I breathe in you.

A wish to improve us in this moment in time;

I’m breathing in oxygen. I’m breathing out life.

I’m just breathing oxygen;

I’m breathing oxygen…

Still searching for new memories, I hope I am still alive in your eyes.

Chasing my future, when I am so weak; I have never seen my optimum.

I’m breathing life into my day; I’m floating into the light.

Up through the water currents, I am rising with the sea;

My heads bursts through the barrier and I can, at last, breathe.

If breathing is all that I can do,

Then I will breathe for you too, if you need me to.

If love is all that I can give,

Then I hope my love helps you to once more breathe.

Let me breathe into you the oxygen you need,

To love this life that we live.
