heartbreak

They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.

A Requiem
You let love break You let love take You let love shake You let love steal and create a well for hate for rage For a self that could not know

Cacoethes. Top Story - August 2023. Content Warning.
I want to sew my eyes shut Don't want to see things That would break my heart ~~~~~ I want to sew my eyes shut Don't want the tears to flow When something breaks my heart ~~~~~ I want to sew my ears shut Don't want to hear things That would break my heart ~~~~~ I want to sew my heart shut Don't want to feel intense emotions When something breaks my heart ~~~~~ I want to rip my heart and soul out Don't want to feel anything Impervious to things that break my heart ~~~~~ Why does my heart break Overflows with empathy When I see someone tristful ~~~~~ Why do I do everything I can In my power to help them Only for them to discard me after use ~~~~~ I fit in with everyone A shapeshifting puzzle piece A cheap knock-off ~~~~~ I'm their ladder to reach the top shelf Their car to reach their destination Their utensils to enjoy their food ~~~~~ I'm just a catalyst Standing outside, always looking in A cacoethes to belong

Disquieting Deception
And like shears she cut, Wounding with strength, though unveiled, A withering bloom.

I wrote a story
I wrote a story that nobody reads. I wrote because I felt it in my bones, like a love jones. Sad to say that only I am inspired by what I say.

The Beginning of the Semester
No textbooks or course outlines, calendars and plans. Students running like chickens, headless, with less control. Staff hiding from teachers; teachers hunting staff...

The Psyche's Canvas. Top Story - August 2023.
In the shadows deep, where my thoughts entwine, A realm unseen, in my human mind. Whispers haunt, both dark and wise, The confusing mix of truth and lies.

The Pathway Of My Brain
You leave beautiful bruises I've still got the scars to prove it Every touch I lose it You run through the pathway of my brain

I will not be an inconsiderate mom even though I was raised by one.
“You pulled my ear hard and told me I’m a dumb girl” My mom: “I don’t remember doing that” “You compared me to your friends’ sons and daughters”
