Eclipsed
** "The Night I Forgot to Breathe"
***"The moment I died, the world exhaled,
and silence kissed my skin.
No bells. No tears. Just falling snow,
and the breathless hush within.*
I thought the end would burn or break-
Instead, it gently came.
with stars above and a sleeping sky
that forgot to call my name."

I died with my eyes open.
There was no scream, no hand reaching out, no farewell echoing into the night.
Just snow.. endless, white, and wild.. spiraling through the air, like torn paper in a forgotten letter.
I don't remember falling. Only floating.
And then.. silence.
They don't really tell you what happens after the heartbeat ends....Not really... Not how the world holds its breath, waiting to see if you'll fight it ...... or follow.
I followed.
When I opened my eyes again, I wasn't in a hospital bed or bathed in light. I was... alone, barefoot, standing on top of an icy mountain... under a sky cracked open with stars.There was no sound—not the wind, not my thoughts—only a strange pressing stillness, as if even time had paused to watch what I had become.
And then... came a storm.
Not loud. Not violent. But slow, crawling, almost curious.
Snow felt like ash.. Wind like a whisper..
And in the cold breath of hush I saw it...a silver of something unreal cleaving through the sky. The moon, caught mid-surrender, split in two by shadow and silver.
a perfect eclipse.
Light and Dark holding hands like enemies that had learned how to dance.
That was the night I forgot to breathe.
Because breath belonged to the living.
And I... was no longer one of them.
