_______________________________________Your power
I feel it pounding in my chest,
A steady rhythm:
Once,
Twice,
And more to come.I am alive,
But not living.It's needless beating
Never stops
Only in your demand.It's heavy,
Almost too lazy to keep going,
When you aren't near.It provides me with oxygen
Yet I only release my breath,
When I am with you.To make your breath
My source of life.I wonder,
How it could possibly still work,
When it was yours,
For as long as I can remember.---------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes, simple words are everything that is needed :)
