heartbreak
They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.
I Lost My Laptop Last Week
It’s strange how everything can fall apart without a sound. No explosion. No warning. Just a screen that refuses to turn on—and suddenly, the work you’ve built, the ideas you’ve saved, and the progress you were proud of… all feel out of reach. Last week, my laptop stopped working. And in that quiet moment, I realized I hadn’t just lost a device—I had lost access to a part of my life.

Buried in the Holler. Runner-Up in After It’s Gone Challenge.
Time falters and the rhythm of the holler unravels, and every legend must be redrawn. What was once a reliable peak has surrendered to the valley. A mother’s passing is a slow erosion of the foundation that held our world in place, leaving us to study the silence, a new law governing the atmosphere. The heavy stillness is a presence, lingering in the spaces mother once filled.
