As we Break...

You're a flower, a breathe of air, a whisper in my dream.
A ray of sun, all the stars in my sky, everything it seems.
But as I look above the water and my lips break the waves,
the horizon tells me a story reminding me of all my past mistakes.
A fear catches hold of me as I try to swim away,
with a panic that leaves me as breathless as the day he walked away.

I feel so much and live too fast without much time to rest.
Though even without words, my heart has always beat quicker than the days pace at its best.

So maybe I'm not from here and to stay would be a crime,
because these four walls that you've built around me force me to step off line.
And as I stray further from the path and you fade from my mind.
I'm closer to the shadow of death that's followed me for all of time.
