l'air

It's all around me and I am breathing it in
I feel it choking me
I'm trying to reach the surface
I can't see a thing
My eyes are closed
I can't breathe
I'm slowly slipping into nothing
I feel a hand on my shoulder
I turn around
And open my eyes
I'm not drowning at all
What was then choking me is now the only thing keeping me alive
I was broken 
I needed that hand on my shoulder
It's not there any more but everything is bright now
I can breathe
I see colours
I can breathe
It has been so long since I haven't and now
I can breathe
Until I break again
I can only hope that the hand on my shoulder will save me
I will breathe 
I hope she does too.
