Begin Again

lightening pulsing like
the life behind my lids
i’m waiting to burst,
waiting to feel the urgency
and if i wake to see the world
has slowly turned its back on me
emergency, emergency
please let the breath escape my lungs
to scream, to remind myself to breathe
cause this life is paper thin
and the sky lights up and the rain
pours down and if i’m not there
to spill like blood onto your skin
i’m watching, waiting for it to
begin again
