Can You

*~.~*

If a breath is all it takes for life

And no breath is all it takes for death

*~.~*

If getting up is all it takes for success

And giving up is all it takes for failure

*~.~*

If a flame is all it takes for light

And a power cut is all it takes for darkness

*~.~*

If a scratch is all it takes for pain

And medicine is all it takes for curing

*~.~*

If hatred is all it takes for devastation

And love is all it takes for replenishment

*~.~*

If words is all it takes to destroy

And a lifetime is all it takes to rebuild

*~.~*

If a breath is all it takes for life

What happens when you can't take that breath?

What happens when you're bound so tight you're suffocating?

Will it all just fade to black?

Will you just keep on falling?

With no one to catch you at the end?

Will you just believe eventually you'll hit the bottom?

When all you're falling through is vacant solitude?

Where it's a seclusion that has no end?

*~.~*

Can you live without breath?

Survive without success?

See with no light?

Can you hurt with no scars?

Feel with no love?

Or live with destruction?

*~.~*

Can you feel a pulse if there's no spirit beating?

Can you see a soul behind tear-rimmed eyes?

Can you suck venom out of clogged wounds?

Can you repair heartache with your voice?

Can you stroke pain below the skin?

Can you mend an interior lesion?

*~.~*

No sometimes you damage people so far

There's no longer any thing you can do

To save them from your mistakes
