like i said

breath taken, above, beyond falling through these cracks,
sorrow muffled my cries and pain suffocates me
breath taken, reaching, crawling
joy uplifts me, through the universe, there is no air.
breath taken, i cannot breathe, grasp, the lengths of this in between heart beats
like this small hand reaching for my face, my joy my heart, part of my skin, this smile, this love i try to shine on to you. this love i try to re produce. searching in eyes that cannot see.

i lay here, drowning
you said you were going up for air for both of us.
i wait here, vision blurring
you once were as blind, does she him in your eyes?
i sit here , head cloudy
waiting for permission to break in to the tiniest pieces in front of u.

to realize i only fight so much for breath, i have been falling, falling fast, i never stopped, never jumped, i wasnt pushed. fast
do you ever think of the day you let me fall through your arms?
