i press my fingers to your lips

i beg, "don't make a sound."

your breath against my fingertips

our time is silent now

your eyes blink back

against my gaze

and what we lack

is here today

i'll let you choose

how we're confined

your mouth won't move

and nor does mine

i want to speak

to give you life

i'm just too weak

as you will find

to breathe my air

into your lungs

i cannot care

what you'll become

for what you are

i cannot keep

when i'm too far

for you to see

i press my fingers to your skin

but there is no one there

when is it my turn to win?

how can this be fair?

just something i wrote today just thinking about things though i'm not too sure why. hope all is well loves
