AND I HELD MY BREATH
Denise Barbarita
so i held my breath
one- two- three
i held my breath
only for a moment
with the need to believe still in me
and somewhere along the way
i lost a little part
i'm sure she's hiding in the back of the stairs
i still need........something
i still want
desire's breathing through me
but it's something i can't find
and i know it's right here in front of me
on the desk
next to this 1/2 eaten apple cake
next to the paperclips
the mundanities of life in the fast lane
it's always a wait
it's a lot of heartache
remember mama saying i'm too impatient
maybe i should learn to sit still and let things come
but then that's never been me
i'm too easy to decieve
always looking for the good
and somehow hoping they like me
so i hold my breath
one-two-three
waiting for whatever's coming to me
and i think of you
what you mean to me
and somewhere in there
lies a truth
a meaning
a meeting of
souls in the battlefield
looking for the portal to jump through
and i'm still waiting
