heartbreak
They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.
A Letter Never Sent
Hey there old friend, A lot has happened since I last saw you. The world is burning, everyone is full of rage, communities are turning on themselves, and here I am still thinking about you. When the air feels gray I imagine the night we went to the cemetery. We really wanted to see that albino woman. Now, I don’t think we could’ve handled the scare. But, do you remember what happened that night? I lost my phone, so we had to go back to look for it. Not an easy task as we had just fled the grounds out of fear of night birds. I was afraid my mom was going to kill me if she found I lost my phone and how. So, you went back to the abyss of that cemetery with me. We looked on the ground as you called my phone over and over. We didn’t find it that night. We went back the next morning to look in the daylight. Within 10 minutes you had found it lying face down in the grass, battery dead. My soul aches remembering this. Not since have I found a friend big enough to face the dark with. You were a golden spirit in my life that night.

Darling
“Darling you are one of a kind, I would never hurt you” He says I am unique like a blade of grass “You’re unique like a blade of grass, although from the same source they each grow so differently.” He smiles while he says it too, almost like he did me a favor by saying it. I felt flustered the first time around, but not anymore – it has grown old like the tread of a bike tire. They all tend to do the bare minimum, but I jump like a bunny on steroids.
