Why can't I breathe

To feel your breath in me
It enflames me
drives me
and consumes me
Time stands still
I connect at will
with all and everything
around me
Without it I drown
suffocate, asphyxiate
struggle and suffer
never to recover
To breathe life into my soul
that was your role
Now trapped within my own heart
is the prison of that soul
I gasp
claw and grasp
To feel your breath in me
it enflames me
drives me and consumes me
I gasp
claw and grasp
Why can’t I breathe
without your breath in me
Our lips part
and true life does start
No more oxygen within
only your essence
fills my presence
To feel your breath in me
it enflames me
Without it I drown
Why can’t I breathe
without your breath in me
