Breathe.
Just breathe
As if it were the very last breath
Like the very last time I'll ever inhale in my life,
I fill up my lungs, to the point where they'll burst.
On the verge of self-implosion,
I'll breathe until it hurts.

I let the air flow right through me
Let it comfort me.
Wrap me up in a chillingly warm embrace
Kind of like grandma's hugs.

It'll pierce me right to the bone.
Break me right in half, and cut this heart of stone.
And with a swift breeze it picks me right back up.
It mantles all my misplaced pieces,
and cradles me.

Inhale,
in through the nose
Exhale,
Out through the mouth.

There is no need for haste, my love.
We can let it flow with the wind.
Stay or go, like the autumn leaves we shall be swept away.
But it's okay.
I am at peace
Surrounded by it.
