270 Entries for “breath”

  1. It’s obvious and cliche. It’s not what I want. It’s too easy or else too difficult.
    It isn’t real.

    It isn’t what matters. You are wasting my time.

  2. You and me in this room. I hold a cup of something. (It’s just to keep my hands busy.)
    Most of the time I don’t think of you at all.
    I think you begrudge me that.

  3. One breath in, not a deep breath, not a sigh, just a normal breath. Cold air swirled into his lungs, and then back out again. A smile widened on his face, or more of a smirk. Teeth showed, white and sharp. The time had come to hunt.

  4. Every breath i take reminds me of you.
    One breath depicts you’re alive.
    But mine is about the memories i treasure.
    and if i don’t remember,
    that one breath lesser.

  5. My fingers can almost grab it, but it’s slippery. I have no breath. I want more than anything at this moment to dive and dig and disappear under the moss and the rocks.

  6. its like going for a walk and the unforgetable taste of liberty plus something that make you feel what only you can descibe.

  7. As soon as I had my cafe con leche, I knew I’d carry the stench of a thousand corpses in my mouth whenever I’d open it to make an utterance. It’s a good thing though. Kept my mouth shut. Kept me out of trouble.

  8. every breath we take is a gift, a gift we take for granted. what will it take for me to appreciate the gift of a breach, each breath. thank you lord .

  9. “Just breath,” he says to me. “It’ll all be ok.”

    I take in a few more ragged breaths. The pain is so hard to deal with. “What happened?” I asked.

    “Gunshot,” Daniel mutters, ripping off another shred of the bandaging. “But it’s all right. We can fix this.”

    I wonder if anyone ever told him that not all things are that easily repaired.

  10. Every breath hurts my lungs, like a predetermined choice that burdens still. I could try to stop breathing. Believe me I’ve tried but it’s more difficult than that. You have to remember that sometimes the smallest of actions affect people other than you. So I shall take this next breath, as a promise to you. To think before I do.

  11. Take a deep breath. It calms you.
    Take a deep breath and think over your situation.
    Live how you want to live.

    Breathe deeply.

  12. Breath, life, the whisper of exhalation as you feel the vital force you were given at birth leave your lungs and you inhale again trying to recapture its essence, it simple pure power to keep you alive. You do this without even realising this infinitesimal struggle, this unknown war for life that we fight every second of every day until, one day our breath leaves us and we fail to recapture it – it is then that we gasp and die, as suddenly as we lived.

  13. One time I was just lay in my garden taking a breath and I just thought about taking a breath so I took quite a large breath but then I forgot how to breathe so I started squealing “BREATHE!” I squealed until I just wanted to start breathing again but then I accidentally ate some salt and then I started breathing again and I just took loads of breaths, I swear it.

  14. inhale relax express your tranquility, take a deep breathing

  15. i breathe everyday without thinking, without pausing without even comprehending what life would be like without my breath. Can you imagine how tiring it would be if we had to remember to take each and every breath? What if we were allowed to forget sometimes?

  16. My breath was visible in the cold air. I loved it here. It was nice… I liked being with my family at a place I adore so much, regardless of all of the arguing.

  19. So you took my breath away and trapped it in a bottle, for the greatest theft of your life. You put your ninja mask on and hopped off the window ledge to throw the bottle into the sea, and told me that maybe I’d be lucky enough to get it back one day.

  20. I like to think that each breath I take has been handed down to me from the past. Cicero breathed some of that breath once. Three breaths ago was 27% of a breath that Thomas Jefferson once took, mixed with 13% Vincent Valentino and 44% Napoleon the remaining percentage is made up of the breaths of the unknown commoners throughout time. Its heady stuff but extremely tough to measure.

  22. “Please, just take a breath” he whispered.
    The mutant troll droll magically came alive because of the boy’s dying wish.
    It was the boy’s dying wish, as the mutant troll doll then bit the boy’s face off, leaving him to rot without his facial skin under the bridge.

  23. Notice the breath
    take it in.
    don’t think
    don’t force.
    just breathe
    Zen Buddha
    Tao, Yoga-nidra
    this is the now of the air
    the earth
    the fire
    the wood

  24. Breath.

    How lovely it would be, she thought to herself with a sigh, to have something take her breath away that wasn’t pain.

  25. ‘I’ll carry you,’ he says.

    It reminds Daniel of how his mum always buys cheese from down south because she misses her family from there. How he has a mysterious affection for English Breakfast tea now. Or when he sighs, air misty and hot in the winter.

  26. breath is what can make me focussed anytime, anywhere. it’s a relief that i am alive. when all things go wrong, there’s one thing that’s still working, which is my breath.

  27. Little more than dust, to begin with. Just dust and bones and hair and dead cells; lifeless and abandoned.
    Just dust and bones and hair and dead cells, and then one breath; inspired and inspiring.

  28. A simple breath may seem simple enough for most of us, but in fact, the simple action is actually much more complicated than we thought. Our hypothalamus first detected the difference of carbon dioxide and oxygen content in our blood, and then our intercostal muscle and diaphragm is stimulated to contact, ringing an increase in our thoracic cavity and hence the pressure of air inside our lung becomes lower than the atmospheric pressure. As a result, atmospheric pressure rushes in our lung, and then the process of inspiration is finally finished. Ok, I think you probably think of this right now, I am nuts and I am just revising my biology right now. haha.

  29. they say that it feels like coming home when you drown. they say that it feels like all your loved ones are waiting for you behind that door that seems to appear right in front of your eyes. i’ve been there. there is no door. it’s hell.

  30. Breath slows down, becomes heavier as I fall into sleep.

  31. When the person you love tells you your breath smells
    or that your hair is dirty
    or that they don’t like it there
    of that it’s your turn to do the washing up
    or that the weight you’ve put on since marrying has stopped them finding you sexually attractive
    or that we don’t really need a TV that big
    proving that size doesn’t matter
    or that those socks have 3 too many holes in them and that you should throw them away even if they were a present from your mum
    or that enough is enough
    you fucking listen
    because it’s the person you love

  32. I liked how you always took my breath away with just that one little glance I stole. It seemed like my heart was always beating faster than usual when I look at you, but then again, that’s natural. I liked you a lot, a whole lot more than the others before. Yet there was just something that was making me breathless when I look at you – it was pain, something you’d try to hide. Like fireflies in the night, fluttering; though lights in the night sky painted a depressing ache in my chest.

  34. Her breath escaped her and her heart began to race. Could this really be it? All her life she has been waiting for this moment when they would finally meet. She spent her nights dreaming of their encounter and imagining what would happen next.

    Yes the time had finally come.

    She closed her eyes; heart ceasing, and her life giving air forever left her cold lips.

  35. I needed you breath for me. I needed you be mine but you never were.

  36. If only I could hold my breath under the water a little longer. If only I did not enter the sea once more, I would not be this position that I am in now, lying on a a bed in the hospital.

  37. ESSENCE OF LIFE….

  38. when singing it’s important to make sure you have the right breathing technique you don’t just breathe in and out like you usually would in every day life or when exercising. When singing you need to breathe from your diaphragm and if you aren’t capable of doing this you may not be able to achieve all that you are able to. For instance singers like Christina Aguilera are capable of hitting the notes they do because of this talent that they have to breathe ‘efficiently’.

  39. Breath in. Breath out. Everything is going to be alright.

  40. necessary for survival. we breath in air because we need oxygen to continue flowing in our bloodstream. funny how we use this as an analogy to needing someone we so love dearly!
