BREATHLESS

words, words

The words thrown at me

As they get thrown right back

Without being caught

is what leaves me

BREATHLESS

All these words that i dont understand

theyre right infront of me,

In the palm of my hand 

My life is a painting

Everything in black and white

The only thing i can see in color

Is the flowing sound of music that i know will never bite

The one thing in my life that shows a light

Shows a light in the darkness

That comes with all my troubles

It guides me through,

Every time i have a fumble

Every time i see you i srumble

Stumble on the words trying escape

i get all worked up and then i let myself down,

The moment i let go, i feel myself drown

The words "i love you" can barely escape from the jail cell of my heart

I let all the other words slip

As you make me sweat, BREATHLESS, and filled with doubt

I watch you go, little by little

My world cold and brittle

I stare at the empty space, where you used to stay

You used to stay, waiting for the words to escape from me

Soon you decided to just let me be

Let our thoughts be free

I scream, and run

Trying to grab you back

But its starting to seem as if what we had is done

As i run and run

To try to say what i have to say

Almost as if i must,

You leave me BREATHLESS

Standing in the room of lovless, lovless dust
