'Please don't let me drown, I still can't swim.'

She says as he pours more water down her throat.

Drowns out all the noise, and all the bad things at first.

But as he continues to pour, more and more is drowned.

Memories, ideas, goals, all gone.

Until there is only the shell of a girl left, once beautiful, now dead.

And it is then that he'll stop pouring. He doesn't want her anymore because there's nothing left.

The girl, more dead than alive, is forced to move on, after he had convinced her that he was her breath.

After he'd made sure she'd lost everything.

Gone.
