I tried to breathe in air that wasn't mine
It was so heavy
It hung around me
Crushing me
Each breath more painful than the last
I didn't understand why it hurt so bad
But then I realized
The heavy tears
The clenched fists
The soundless screams
I was breaking down
Feeling like my heart had broken into pieces
That the tiny pieces were piercing my soul
Cracking each part of my vulnerability
After that
I was never the same

yup, nothing like that first
demolition
of all that you hoped - for
and believed-in, with such wholehearted vehemence,
to splinter your trust
into such minuscule shards
that you know, instinctively
before you ever try
it can never be made whole
again...
(thanks for sharing, your impassioned poetry
hope, you're in a better place now
or will soon - be)
