Barely Breathing

I don’t even know how we got here:

One minute we’re fine, the next we’re not;

I keep replaying what I said, what I feared,

Like there’s still something I forgot.

 

I tried to walk away like I saw it through,

Like I wouldn’t feel it in every quiet moment;

But everything keeps leading back to you,

And nothing feels right, everything is bent.

 

I’m still here, still holding on to something

That probably isn’t holding me back;

Not moving forward, not really healing,

Just barely breathing in the dark.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A poem about trying to heal in a quiet moment, but not quite moving on.
