100 Themes Challenge - 10 - Breathe Again

Number 10 in the 100 Themes Challenge

Don't just lay there
Pretending you are sleeping
It's not funny anymore
Please wake up

Please breathe again for me

Why don't you open your eyes?
You said we would play today
You're supposed to be angry by now
You promised you would be around forever

Please breathe again for me

Why are you so cold
Even though I've fetched
All the blankets I can find?
Are you feeling ill?

Please breathe again for me

Why do they tell me to let go of your hand?
Why are they dragging me away?
But no matter how much I kick and scream
You do not stir or wake

Please breathe again for me

The monsters took you away
Even though you were just asleep
And now you are buried under ground
And they say it's going to be okay

But it's not

Please breathe again for me
