you are in the air I breathe
when you're far away, asthma kicks in
and you've been so far for so long
I'm beginning to suffocate
your absence fills my nostrils
my lungs
my brains
'til I am empty of you
once so full
now so barren
in my own state of emergency
and you've been so far for so long
my love
and I am becoming empty of you
so barren
and my state of emergency isn't beautiful
it's violent
it's a struggle to stay alive
I should never have allowed you to become my oxygen
I need you
but only your absence fills me
'til I'm empty of you
