Gas Exchange
I used to hate to exhale, hated the seconds that I wasn’t breathing you in. I wanted to learn circular breathing so that I could expire but not expel your scent from my nostrils. Now I have nothing to inhale, your scent doesn’t linger on anything I own. I can’t even breathe in dust from frames housing photos of you, there are no such mementos because ‘Emily’ never met Olivia Benson. ‘Emily’ has no need for circular breathing. Sometimes when I think about the things that I have given up it makes me wish that I didn’t breathe at all.
