losing oxygen
where have I been
I'm still here but I've got
bruises on my skin
and I don't know why I'm
losing oxygen
when I scream at you
I feel my heart cave in
and I hate this place again
I pretend I don't care
but you know I do
and I'm so glad you're here
when I'm turning blue
when we were children
all the world was green
we were wiser then
now we're blowing steam
and losing oxygen
when you scream at me
I'm losing my best friend
oh, here we go again
breathe life into me
breathe your life into me
breathe life into me
you pretend you don't care
but I know you do
you're the reason I'm here
when you're turning blue
losing oxygen

Beautiful in its reminder to us of the tendency we all have to panic and dive into emotional misperception.
Thank you. I enjoyed your poem.
Thanks. I'm afraid I can't take credit for it though. It was written by John Austin and Erin Echo.
