Breathe
Oh, to be loved by him
Words can’t quite describe how it feels
But here they’ll try
Imagine
Your whole life has only been
Water
Pushing you down
You’re suffocating
You can’t breathe
Sometimes
You can reach the surface
But it never lasts
Soon the water rushes back over your head
You’re drowning
You become
Weak
And fighting for that breathe
That one
Deep breathe
Of fresh air
Becomes impossible
You feel yourself sinking
Deeper and deeper into the abyss
Then
You feel a hand grab yours
You’re frighten
Your body had become so cold and numb
It forgot how to feel
The hand pulls you up
And you begin to see the light of the surface again
There it is
Shining down on you from the hole you fell into
You’re almost free
Finally
You can breathe
The oxygen fills your lungs
Your body begins to relax
Because you can breathe
You may still be a little scared
To leave the ice that you now rest on
But you can breathe
And so I breathe
And he allows me to breathe
And he helps me to breathe
We won't leave the ice yet
I'm not quite ready
But he waits for me
He's patient with me
And if I ever fall back
Into the frigid waters
He helps me out
And he
Is the reason
I am still breathing
