My Oxygen

Under the weight of life
I forget how to breathe
and I feel suffocated
 
I hesitantly make peace
with the world
and my collapsing lungs
 
You appear in my life
as you always do
when I’m losing my will
 
I gasp in air again
from the resuscitation
that your life performs on mine
 
You leave once more
so I hold my breath
knowing you’ll be back

(2013)
