To Mean It

I cannot breathe without You,
When I gasp for air,
I know I don't want to lose You.
I don't want to forget,
But I know, it's true...
We take for grant until we don't need to.

When I'm breathing fine,
I forget.
Until I feel something wrong,
I regret.
Then I come running,
Over again...
To You
To tell You,
That I need You.

Then it happens again.

I forget?
Until I feel something wrong,
Again.
If I can't breathe,
That's only then,
I come to You,
To You again.

It's rude.
It's selfish.
And I hate it,
Because what's in it for me
Comes in when I need.
While I want to love You
And to mean it.

Why is that so?
I struggle and then
Things go slow?
I come to You,
To let You know,
That I'm in need..
Like wow, that's low.

You're not just the vending machine,
Or the janitor
That keeps everything clean,
Or always making miracles
That goes unseen
To keep me safe and give me things.

I want to love You,
But it's so hard,
When one has but, a greedy heart,
That only talks to get returns,
Or when it's going for the worse.

I love You, God,
I pray I do.
The more
And more,
Please, help me to,
Because I'm hard
And has no time,
When You've got it all,
All in line.

Help me be with You
Than just to have to.
It is the truth,
All I need is You.

Help me to mean it,
To love You for You,
Not because of things,
God, I need You.
