Breathing

Breathe in
Find my last shreds of the hope that you ripped apart

Breathe out
Let my final tears escape my eyes and let my heart start to heal

Breathe in
Pry your hold from my mind and regain my strength and balance

Breathe out
Acknowledge that every breath takes me farther from the pain you cause

Breathe in
Pick up the pieces of my broken heart and put it back together

Breathe out
Understand that you aren’t coming back and that I’m no longer your world

Breathe in
Look up at the sunrise and know this is a new day, a new beginning

Breathe out
Breathe in
Keep living
