last night i slept with an old teddy bear
i got when i was 12
the night before i slept with you
your arms wrapped around me
my arms wrapped around him
the very same way he's tossed out of bed
you pull me closer
my face buried under the covers
only to snuggle closer in your chest
and my lungs burn so blissfully as i gasp
like the child saving the fish from drowning
you pull me from my waters
only, i'm grateful for the foreign view
clouding my eyes with a haze of promise
nothing here hurts except the burning in my lungs

Very nice tree. I love the analogy of a fish drowning. This was brought together very well in the ending of the poem with lungs burning.
