Each Breathe.

Hello,
Haven’t talked to you for a while
I shed a tear and question faith
No longer spare a smile

It will never again be a phase
Of impulsive suicide
There’s just no logic to remain
With you not by my side

Each breathe was all for you
Each breathe was all for you

And now my bones are all too tired
I guess it’s always been that way
But my dreams of giving so much to this world
Subside each time I’ve been betrayed

I walked down to the bridge last night
Told no one where I might be going
Stared at the river with despise
Like my life it was downhill without controlling

I started talking aloud
For that is when I realized
I only have myself to speak to
Because each breathe was all for you
Each breathe was all for you

I stared out to the city lights
And every single world that passed
I shed a tear and questioned faith
As each soul to obscurity there was no contrast

I can’t tell if the cold air is making me sicker
Does it even matter anymore?
Every breath I take is poison
Inhaled to fire deeper than before

I pull down my hood to show my despondent eyes
I guess they’ve always been that way
The flesh of my gaze grows deeper
Still lacking enough misery to be betrayed
