Breath of Shadows

Whispers in the dark, a silent call

Breathing in the ghost of us all

Faded skies above,

shadows grow

Every gasp is a reminder

of what doesn't show

Deep in my Broken lung,

lost in the night is my fate

Holding onto a fragile light

When you hate the

Deep inside this

secret maze

Scarred breaths,

heartbeats slow don't hesitate to

Searching for air that I used to know

Can’t escape this aching rift

A silent battleship adrift you want to much

Please let go

Baby please don't strangle me

My broken lung,

a battered song

Trying to find

where I belong

In the hollow of

my chest

A fight to breathe,

a weary quest

My broken lung,

hold on tight

Let this darkness

turn to light

Struggling through

the pain and strife

To find my way back to life

Echoes of a time when I was whole

Fighting through, healing soul

Each shallow breath, a new dawn

From the ashes, I will spawn

Silent whispers

fade away

Hope is rising

with each day

My broken lung

may cry and fall

But I will breathe

and stand tall again
