breathless

BREATHLESS

Last night, I just knew I could do it,

I had all the strength, and more -

This morning I'm here working through it

As tears fall as rivers to floor.

Last night I believed in my truth,

That love can never die -

This morning that thought's so aloof

That it forces my shadows to cry.

Last night I had faith in tomorrow

When love will show me the way -

This morning, I hold all my sorrow,

Just hoping I'll get through the day.

What happened in dreams filled with sparkle -

Did we bicker and blame by the moon?

Last night I embraced all my darkness,

This morning - lost in a monsoon.

Maybe you held to another -

I wonder, did you choose to leave?

For last night I inhaled all your love,

But this morning I can't seem to breathe.
