It's almost as if I forgot how to breathe in that moment.
That moment when I couldn't see past the water droplets falling from my lashes, making ripples in the water.
They were the closest thing to tears that I had.
A numbness took over my body and suddenly I'd forgotten how to breathe.
Yet I didn't notice that's all I was doing.
Breathing.
When I didn't want to.
I laid in the bath water filled with ashes and submerged my head into the water until I felt the bottom.
Hoping to drown in your memory.
How disappointing it was when my face broke the surface and warm air invaded my lungs again.
B r e a t h e.
