Tired Breathing

Sometimes I feel too tired to breathe

There's a heartbeat in my eardrums

One like I've never heard before

All I want to do is wrap myself in you

Surf on the waves of your breathing

Drown in the peace of knowing I am safe - with you

My eyes are heavy

My breathing is steady

And there are bags forming under my eyes

I cannot carry this baggage alone

I need your help - guide me to my dreams

Sometimes I am too tired for breathing - for living

I need to lay my head on your chest

And drift away before I am gone forever

I need to be wrapped in you

So that I do not break when I fall

So that I do not shatter when I fall.
