holding my breath, waiting for you to take yours
watching you laying there, naked, cold, alive but not
gently gliding my finger over you blood soaked skin
i'm holding my breath
this is how i hope i feel when my baby first comes into the world
but for now i hold my breath for you.
i'm holding my breath for all of you, all i hold close to my heart
each for a different reason but all for something you need to do.
i wait for you, to tell me what you wait for, what you want, what your planning, and i hold my breath for you to do the next thing to hurt me
i wait for you, to move past 15 years old, i wait for you to realise that some hearts were not meant to love. i hold my breath for you to leave me
i wait for you, in every sense of waiting, i wait for your embrace, your kiss, i wait for you to be with me, i wait for you to cry to me, i wait for you to love me. but i also wait for your cold shoulder, your mistrust, i wait on my toes for you to hurt me, leave me, even hate me.
i cry for you all and i know you all think i'm cold at times, but i'm cold waiting for everyone to hurt me. how could i let my heart warm when everytime i do someone attempts to stab it.
how could anyone give there everything to someone when no-one has given them half.
i hold my breath for the day that will happen...
i breathe easy for now knowing none of you can hurt me
i would stop breathing if one of you loved me
i would give my last breath to be able to love any of you
but for now i hold my breath
and my lungs already burn
