Love Poem: Breathe

Written by: Larry Belt

Breathe

You're the breath that fills my lungs
The smile that parts my lips
Your touch caresses my soul within
The reason my heartbeat skips

You're the memories that fill my mind
With dreams when I'm asleep
You're the sleeve that wipes my tears
Each time I start to weep

You're the answer to all my prayers
Though unworthy I may be
You're the reason my eyes are blind
For it's only you I see

You're the reason the sun will rise
And the reason why it sets
You're the light that shines at night
No matter how dark it gets

You're the breath that fills my lungs
So should you ever leave
You'd take away the reason I live
For I simply couldn't breathe
