Empty Lungs

Every minute is that of an hour

That the air is gone from my lungs.

Mustered heaves only push to half full,

Just enough for one short breath

Before all my energy and all my body

Musters once more.

Shoulders rise and shoulders fall

While my body remains handicap.

My chest burns while my lungs scream

And beg for air.

Just for one deep breath

They plead with no other care.

I struggle with all my might

Put up my strongest fight

While lungs remain empty

All throughout the night.
