and this was it
she knew this was it
because the stinging in her chest, in her heart, was unlike anything she'd felt before
the tears sliding down her cheeks weren't harsh, rapid tears
they were slow and silent
her heart was no longer a steady thump-thump, thump-thump
it was quick
wild
all over the place
she knew this was it because she felt like she was
dying
dead
she felt like she was gone
