Baby's Breath

Spinning, losing my self control
Just waiting, waiting until the star falls
For it will bring my dreams to life
From the deepest parts of hell's decaying strife
Causing my heart to fill with astounding joy
As I walk down the aisle with my exuberant young boy
In my hands I master my turbulent fear
As it’s wailing that my demise is near
But I put it aside in my basket of contentment
Leaving behind all of my resentments
For now I stare at your bewitching eyes
And all the emotions of my soul just die
As your hand is impeccably placed in mine
I feel as though we are suspended slowly in time
Only hearing coughing coming from Seth
While I whisper into the perilous night, “this is the luck of baby’s breath”
