Catch My Breath

How can you, even say words
 You don't really mean anymore?
 Seasons pass fall to spring,
 Finding I search out hope in
 Everything.
 Reaching finish lines to find
 Ourselves in last place
 Never looking behind 'till it's
 Too late.
 We falter and stumble until
 We break into a run
 That leads us in circles, until
 There's only one
 Trying to catch my breath.
 Solitude day to day, dreaming
 At times that I'll just slip away.
 Then everything's okay, and sadness
 Is even less than memories.
 Reciting the lines we both have
 Said so many
 Time and time again our words
 Succumb to silence.
 We falter and stumble until
 We break into a run
 That leads us in circles, until
 There's only one
 Trying to catch my breath.
 Lie to me, demanding I give
 Nothing but all my honesty.
 We falter and stumble until
 We break into a run
 That leads us in circles, until
 There's only one
 Trying to catch my breath.
