Abby


Breathe.

             Let it out.

                               Scream if you have to.

Cry.

    But I can't.

                     I'm all out of tears.

Breathe. 

             Just fucking breathe.

                                              Do not let yourself go.

Breathe.

             No, I won't. 

                              It feels better when I don't. 

Breathe.

               No, I won't.

                                  The pain is gone.

When I don't.......Breathe .

Breathe.

             Please.              

                        *Inhale*

                                            Breathe.

                                                            *Exhale*

                                                                               No.
