Lost in thought

I’ll just wait to blink
Until I can inhale
My lungs have left me fragile…
My heart has left me helpless.

Energy is missing
Like the smiles in my head.
I’m lost inside your dream…
It’s like I’m living while I’m dead.

Its not so hard
To sit alone, and stare
Waiting, for a breath of air.
Waiting for the sun
To come and pick me up.

I’ll just wait…
Until I can inhale.
And if I die…again…
It won’t be so hard,
To catch the wind
And fill my lungs
With sultry oxygen.

- And so it was that time stood still -
     (blink, breathe, stand, fight)
