It's funny to think about-
Every time you lay down and close your eyes, you risk the chance of not waking up. 
Every time you get into your car and drive, you risk the chance of not coming home. 

We are constantly gambling with our own lives, and we don't even realize it. 

Because the truth is- the only thing that is indefinitely deadly, is life itself.

I long so badly for the day where I can wake up next to you.
I'll wake up before you, I already know. You've never been a morning person.
But I am- So I'll wake, stretch my body out next to yours.
And I'll lay on my side, or on your chest and listen to your calm breathing.
In and Out.. so peaceful and welcoming.  Because it doesn't matter how many times we fight, you see. We will always be right here- in this moment. Breathing in the same space and time, a rhythm held onto by our unconscious minds.
Dreams twirling together, like our fingers the night before.

Sometimes you're hurting and you don't know why.
Or maybe you do know- and you wish you didn't.
What can you do when there is a raging storm inside you?
How do you let it out without seeming weak?
I'll be the last person to ask for help, I do not go to others when in need.
I rely on myself, and myself only- but maybe it's time to step back.
I can't do this on my own and I can't seem to form the words to ask.
I'm drowning in my own bedroom and yet I can't cry for help.
I feel so utterly hopeless sometimes. I suppose this is one of those times.

Sometimes I just feel really sad.
  
               And I don't know why.

You need to do it.
                            I don't..
Yes you do- and you know it.
                            Stop. Go away.
Just do it already you big baby.
                            I'm scared.
Why? You've done it before. It's not a big deal. ******* go.
                            What if Mom hears me?
She won't. Do you want to lose it?
                            Yes
What are you waiting for then?
                            (sigh)
You need to do it.
                            (Shaking)
...
                    ­       (Gives in)
Feel better?
                           No.. Yes. I don't know
You do.
I win again.
We are our worst enemy.

"What does it feel like?"

It feels like you're encased in concrete.
You can't breath.
There's needles lining your lungs.
It's bone crushing.
It feels like your head is spinning, instead of the earth.
You can't think straight.
There's a sea of rocks in your stomach.
It's heart wrenching.
It feels like someone took your heart, right out of your chest.
You can't feel it, not until
There's a stone wall to hurl it at.
It's a shattering empty jar across the wall.

But it's all worth it.
Every second of fighting and pain.
Because at the end of the day,
We still have each other.
And we always will.


"It feels amazing."
