Open Heartbreak
Breakup Nonet Challenge Entry Inspired by The Police and Funeral for a Friend.
Most open heartbreak for all to see
Love can mend your life, but it's hope
That can keep us together
When it's at its rawest
Love can break your heart
Like a bottle
To concrete
When they
Left

Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: Nonet for the Breakup Nonet Challenge inspired by The Police's Message in a Bottle (featured above the poem) and Funeral for a Friend's The Year's Most Open Heartbreak (featured below). Also kinda inspired by Rachel Deeming and her nonet, Bite (also featured below) because it references, accidentally, Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division. That led me down the rabbit hole of taking inspiration from those two sources.
