"a break" means to be stuck in a limbo
between life and death
uncertain of your place, even in the afterlife

"a break" is like a crumb in the crevice of the keyboard
impossible to dig out,
its lingering presence unable to bear

"a break" is also the in-between
of constant anxiety and the sweet relief of knowing & not knowing what could possibly be next
every time he says we need a break, my heart hurts a little
