Take away my oxygen
And I want to breathe even more
Becomes a thought all encompassing
And the more of thee I implore
Respiration becomes hallowed
And unto itself a classic art form
To be taken serious thought as
Mouth to mouth keeps the body warm
Resuscitation in this way
Starts the life to one worth living
Propels the blood through the vein
And begins the act of giving
Breathe you in, slow and unsure at first
Savoring the life giving taste
Then faster now, in quickening breaths
Making holy by making haste
Inhaling as one starved for months
In guises portrayed as improper acts
Greedily taking all of you
Through the oxygen the mouth lacks
