Each day passes
Pulling more and more air out of these lungs
And I am left gasping
As I become more aware of my predicament
With every breath I take
I try to mistake
The very fact
Something is wrong
I try to make it on my own
Knowing I can find some antidote
To ease this every increasing pain
But with every effort I still feel the same
Time passes
And I can almost feel my heart’s last beats
Shallow breaths and desolate thoughts
Consume me
The world is a blur
And I am unsure
What is after this
Torment or bliss?
My heart is pounding
My fears expounding
As my mind races
And all these faces become a blur
I fall to my knees
And I call on you, God
In the very middle of my brokenness
You came
Air fills these lungs
As you breathe life into me
You rescued me
And I can breathe again.
