a moment


I stop breathing.  
Hoping to hear in the stillness.
In search for a sound. 
But nothing comes. 

My eyes water. 
Pressure amounting in my lungs.
 Turning my cheeks a fiery red.
And my green eyes foggy.

My teeth remain clenched.
As my lips slowly part.
I swallow. 
Forcing myself into the black.

But it is then that I feel it. 
The rhythm.
The silent murmur and repetition.
And I relax for a moment. 

And in that gesture let go.
Not in a desperate rush
or sudden defeat.
But a realization.

He deserves more.
