She has that one breath
Punctual, following the fourth tear
A sharp intake - halting her heart
And vanished her tears.

Years of suppression,
Now an addiction
A cycle unbreakable
A good cry hidden away.

She has that one breath
Ironically killing her
She wished she didn’t
Breathe that one breath.

Last or not
She didn’t care
That one breath
She could go without.
