Just.Keep.Breathing.

Oh sweet collar bones,
Where have you been?
It's been a while,
Since I saw your smile,
Etched across my chest.

They days are longer now,
The sun warm on my skin.
Yet still your face,
Brings light to my life,
But I'm not scared, anymore.

I no longer need
Your bitter sweet oxygen;
Your icy breath
Couldn't melt my heart.
I'm learning to breathe once again.

Fading.
On the inside.
Shrinking.
On the outside.
Louder than ever before.
Can they not hear my screams?

  2. Stopping breathings not so easy either! In order to scream you have to open your mouth and all that fresh air rushes in. :)

  4. I can't decide whether this is full of empowerment... or asphyxiation. Either way, it's beautiful.

  5. I love collar bones.
    So beautiful, and elegant.
    Every time I look in the mirror,
    they are the first thing my eyes are drawn too.
    I'm glad I'm not the only one who
    sees their beauty.
    You are equally as beautiful, my dear.
