There are times when I look at you
And I forget to breathe because
You make me so deliriously happy
Just by existing in the same space as me
And then there are times
Where your presence and actions
Wound me so deeply down to my core
That I forget to breathe once again
You brought me out of the darkness
Showed me there's light and hope in the world
But right now
You're sending me back to hell
I'm amazed at how different it is
Forgetting to breathe in elation
And being incapable of filling your lungs with air
Because everything hurts so badly
It's the same delicious rawness
The same fire burning thru your chest
But love feels like flying
While heartbreak weighs you down
