heartbreak
They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.
Love in a box
I'm putting our love in a box, those complete twenty-years and some. I'm putting our love on standby until we both know what life wants. I'm hurt, a stale frustrated, full of glitch words shouldn't be a justification to break those vows that we took. But life is unfair and its karma comes back as an end of a tale.

Behind the Silence, I Scream
You Call It Strength, But You Don’t See Me Break They say I’m strong. They look at how I carry on—how I smile politely at the grocery store clerk, how I manage to work full-time, pay bills, raise kids, and still remember to ask how someone else is doing.

ALL THE LIES I’VE TOLD TO PROTECT MYSELF (from myself) it would hurt more to let it out / stars can see you too / everyone feels the same / all subjective, everything / it matters / it doesn’t / add another layer and it’ll be perfect / time will never run out / it’s simple / this is the last time / we can stay here / nothing is different / no one has a stroke at twenty-three / permanence doesn’t exist / you’re invincible / no one is looking at you / you’re invisible / he would not only approve of, but love this / your life is the only one that’s real / happiness only grows over time / they don’t hurt like you do / everyone has cold hands / they understand / just pretend it’s not there, so it’s not / teeth won’t break that easily / this is as good as it gets / it will be warm forever / everyone can see it / no one wants to
