Every breath I breathe
and every step I take,
the clock keeps ticking
bringin' me closer to fate.
They say the good die young, I must be on my way

you take the breath right out of me
you left a hole where my heart should be

gonna wear that dress you like
skin tight
do my hair up real, real nice
and syncopate my skin to how you're breathing

I want to believe in more than you and me
But all that I know is I'm breathing.

I want to be closer than close
I want your exhale to be my inhale
I want our hearts to beat in sync

I wonder what it would feel l i ke. . .
If I could just lay in your arms again
and finally be able to breathe ♥

sometimes, breathing hurts.
breathe in the pain. feel the secondhand smoke sear your lungs as your eyes water. feel the panic setting into your mind as you realize breathing hurts. feel the toxic air pervade your capillaries as it presses phantom butterfly kisses along your aching jaw line. breathe in the pain.
and know that you are alive.
sometimes it's in these moments when everything else fades away to a soft, fuzzy gray that you become the clearest. you're the sharpest thing in your life and you're not going down with out a fight. you've been here a hundred hundred times before, and everytime you've stood tall. you've allowed the pain to drive you to your knees with your forehead pressed against the wall, and gone from a woman breaking into girl-sized pieces. you've let your first love be the thing that shreds your will to exist, and still you're standing tall.
come, my dear. breathe in the pain. and know that you are alive.
you've lost a few fights before, and you will lose a few fights again. you really can't win every time. you've never learned, have you? you've heard the phrase "no one loves a loser" too many times. but what you've failed to realize is that no one loves a loser because a loser has lost love. you're not a loser, darling. but you're not a winner, either. you're facing your worst fear: mediocrity.
you're afraid of standing on the border between success and failure, because a feather-soft touch can knock you over the edge. you're afraid of what youv'e been doing your whole life, aren't you?
every night, you walk the serrated-knife edge between failure and living. sometimes, you've tripped and you've caught yourself on your bleeding, blistered hands.
you thought you could climb up the sky, steal the sun, and capture it in a jar. but the sun is not made of fireflies, and every wish you've made on it can happen.
you just need to made them happen yourself. "the world is not a wish-granting factory", and neither is it truly what destroys our dreams. it pushes them and pushes them and waits for the dreams to push back.
breathe in the pain. breathe in your dreams. breathe in resolution.
you are alive.
you are living.
you are dreaming.

I could barely breathe when you left me.
You weren't my oxygen - you were a firm grasp around my neck.

My lungs feel heavy, weighed down by the bitter scent of almonds and I swear, I swear, I can feel them start to stain - just like the walls, colour starts to creep along my innards in shades of blue. It burns, it fu.cking burns so bad but there's nothing to do but wait. I do so for what feels like hours, my lungs melting like a hot knife into butter, but nothing. Nothing at all. My arms ache and blister but still I'm gasping shallowly, like a baby taking its first breath. This is my first breath, after spending so long suffocating, after so long struggling and pining and feeling jealous over anyone who had the privilege to breathe. It hurts, it hurts a lot, and I don't understand how everyone else around me can breathe so easily, like it's second-nature, while I struggle with something meant to be so basic. For so many years I've wanted to breathe like that, like everyone else. And here I am - gasping, phlegm in my mouth - wishing I was doing anything but.
