Like A Breath

 

Like A Breath

You're like a shadow

No one can see

Nobody knows you're there

No one but me.

You're like a falling star

Falling in dark

Waiting to catch fire

But finding no spark.

You're like a hunger

With no one to bite

Holding to nothing

But still holding tight.

You're like a grapevine

With no fruit on the vine

Needing planting and caring

In a garden like mine.

And I'm like a seer

That walks past you and sees

The heat in your coldness

The warmth in the breeze.

 I'm like a doctor

That walks through your hell

Picks up your pieces

Wants you to be well.

And I'm like a lover

That your heart forsakes

A giver with passion

That your heart never takes.

And we pass and we pass

In the dark and the dawn

The shadow and seer

Moving onward and on.

You're a mist and a vapor

Like a soul never been

But to me you're the sweet air

That I long to breathe in.

And I wait for that midnight dark

Or that day without sun

When the shadow and seer

Like a breath, become one.
