Leaving me breathless

Sometimes your wants of me

Leave me breathless

I feel as though all the life and air

Is being stolen from me

As I struggle to breathe

And long for escape

While another part of me watches

From the sidelines

And wonders why

At times I find human relationships so hard

Is it just the wanting you transfer onto me?

I find after we speak of your predicament

I cannot stop the tears from falling

I feel just so utterly at sea

Is this the way you feel?

Or is this just the pattern I know

The only one I have ever known

Am I only cut out to live alone

If your love and need

Always leaves me

This sad

This breathless?
