Thin Air

Silent whispers

drift on a breeze

Remembered daydreams   

 You're everywhere and nowhere

Again I climb
 this mountain of fears for love,
against turbulent winds

Blinded to its trappings I ascend, beyond the cairns
 of my brokeness

Believing my heart 
will mend as I transcend
scorn and pain

Yet, every memory 
of every embrace
and heartache
corrupts the atmosphere

I falter

The air is thin 
where love is denser 

 My every breath is filled 
with the essence of  you
It's choking the life out of me
