Hold Your Breath
(Nocturnal Thoughts 1)
Everything changes with a breath.
So take a deep one and hold it in until you forget how to exhale.
Maybe then you'll stay who you are, what you are.
Maybe then the moment will never die.
Maybe then you won't know what it feels like to have everything you're used to changing.
Maybe then you'll stay unaware of how endings are always the same, how it always hurts the same.
Just concentrate on holding your breath.
Then you won't notice your hands getting dropped.
You won't feel the tears dropping down your face one by one as you watch getting replaced;
As the tears dry and the remaining saltiness itches your cheeks.
Don't. Exhale.
The long nights won't bother you then.
The grudge you hold will dissolve.
You won't feel how lonely you became.
But when you breathe again, you will realise it all.
You can't be special enough to never be cast aside,
because humans tend to love so much until they don't.
And if you cannot bare the intensity of it all, then you know what to do;
take a deep breath and hold it in until you forget how to exhale.
You'll die in the end on your own anyway.
