breathe

breathe

isolated
in a crowded room
and all i can do
is watch and struggle
to pull air into my
lungs while you
aren't here to
help me and
while the people here
don't care enough to
try.

because you are my
angel and my light
in a dark place like
this when i need you
so when you aren't
here it hurts
because i can't do
anything to make
you be here with
me.

so i'll keep struggling
and waiting
because i know you'll
show up
because you know when
i need you and i
know you'll be here
because i need you
now and because
you make me
breathe.
