blink-breathe-repeat

.blink.

I tasted heaven- in her tears
and breathed a bittersweet breath. of acrid emotion
amotion. of self.
and break me down in the process.

punch-drunk and bereaved. head hung low.
thinking. of this first taste of defeat- on the brink of relief
gritting teeth- with broken dreams
and self afflicted semi-something. no.
it's nothing in the least.

at least. that's what she said to me.

.breathe.

but never blink- life exists on the brink
between what we live and what we see.
and what we hate- it's impossible to retrieve.
and no. I'll never fucking believe.

a despondant- redundant, rhetorical piece.
of illusion. dillusion seems to bring.
brokendown peace. there's a choice- or so it seems
retracing starplexed voices
and noises that mark the decease. and we're lost.
the cost of the dream
is inevitable. someone save me.

.fail.

we're invisible.
life is lived on the edge of credible.
and tonight. I'll just be.

yes. I'll just be.

  I can't believe I never commented on this... I must not have been able to even summon words after reading... I probably just blinked... TRIED to breathe... favorited it and let it soak into my brain! Well, I read it again and I'm still overwhelmed... but I wanted to tell you just how much I love it. I love it like I love oxygen... Refreshing, taunting, and explosive.

  These are moments of soft discreet beauty, and I feel you have captured the essence of them, and if you did not, they would escape into the universe unlived.

  That and the inner philosophical turmoil, perhaps present in all of us, but is made conscious here, as though it's at the surface and can be understood, almost.

  I think this has to be my favourite piece of yours.... it's incredible, stunning write, a knock to the jaw and an eye-opener to life and living, being human, emotional torment and turmoil and acceptance of such. brilliant write. Thank you.
