Though I could try to
explain in a million words,
what you meant to me
You'd never completely
understand
If you hadn't caught me
I wouldn't be consuming
this vital oxygen
My tender soul would be
annihilated
The few affectionate
words that slip past
my lips would be
squandered on
Hell's own creation
Dignity, self-respect and
self-esteem would no
longer be a part of my
vocabulary
I would be so close
to the edge that
I'd forget when I wasn't
so close
