button part 4

inspired by her

No one succeeds at heartbreak.

I built myself a throne room out of pizza boxes and empty Lunchables.

And I can’t stop crying into my Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup.

But one day, I’ll cry myself a fountain of youth.

Let’s go back to the beginning.

I’m tired of self-help tips and friendly pick-me-ups.

I drank up bottles and bottles and bottles, pretending their mouths belonged to someone else.

But I’m done feeling sorry for myself.

Because why apologize for loving until you burst?

My capacity to feel needs no pardon.

My heart needs no mending.

I am not broken, I’m just a little more explosive.
