BreathLESS.

Wait. Will you let me catch my breath?
For I can no longer run , I can no longer feel my beating heart.
HeartLESS.
I am mindLESS.
Am I soulLESS?
For I cannot telll
Your words, these lines can send me off to an unknown place all on their own.
To a place of peace in a time of war. To a place where the endlessness has reached its end.
For the heart is the house built of paper,
The house built of cards.
For one gust of wind can  tear it down, one spark is all it takes to set its passions into flames.
Love does exist, but I don't show it.  
For, I tend to run from it
If you run fast enough, the sadness won't catch up to you, the heartbreak will stay behind.
Showing my love would be to stop running and allow all the pain to fill my lungs, as I'm left gasping for air.
My heart has its way of getting trapped into these endless circles.
The past repeating itself, over and over again.
Tearing me apart with its iron grip
I do not show my love
For love does not show itself to me.
It simply locks my heart, with no way of setting it free.
If it would meet me halfway,
I'd be more willing to allow my mind to wander, to allow my words to be set free, to lie on the clouds above.
Because life is a row of speeding cars.
Where they race on by,
As everyone runs, as everyone drives, I feel like I'm the only one wanting to walk, wanting to fly.
Would you walk with me through rows of speeding cars?
For I've never met anyone who could sing back the melody etched in my heart, that humming that echoes deep in my soul.
I can feel the flood nearing.
And I am not scared, and for once I won't hide in a hole.  
i may be vulnerable, I may also cry.
But at least when I look back, I'll be able to say I didn't give up and I gave it evrything, i gave it a try.
If this flood you speak of comes and takes my heart with it, then so be it.
For I am now willing to let go.
Maybe the violent rush of the water will teach me to breathe under the water.
If I survive the fight,
I'll look for that lily until the day ends, until there's no more light.
this treasure might be that missing puzzle piece I've been trying to find.
Please, if I may ask.
Will you help me find it?
For the ocean is dark, and the star's light is too dim.
Will you come with me? for I don't want to go down there alone.
But if I must, then I'm already on my way.
