When we broke up,
I remember clasping my heart in my hand.

I could not believe that my heart had escaped out off its cage.

Trying to chase after you,
Desperately trying to get back to where it belonged.

I almost died trying to unlove you.
My first panic attack left me in awe about how deeply you had intertwined in my very being.

Those butterflies I felt,
that fluttered to the zenith of  dangerous firmaments,

they too die.

I asked you to take a look at the lacerations you caused.
All you could do was, avert your gaze. All you could say was, "I'm sorry."

And

"You will heal."

People get lonely,
And that's okay.

But I want to be lonely with you,
Is that okay too?

A foolish woman is clamorous;
She is simple, and knows nothing.
For she sits at the door of her house, On a seat by the highest places of the city,
To call to those who pass by, Who go straight on their way: “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here”;
And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him, “Stolen water is sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
But he does not know that the dead are there,
That her guests are in the depths of hell.
Proverbs 9:13‭-‬18 NKJV

This is poetry at its finest.

You came providing a shelter.
I found comfort and safety.
But after a while I realised
That you were blocking the sun and rain.
And I slowly withered away.

Once you finally decided to leave
Sun rays brought life and
the rain refreshment.
And I was finally able to bloom again.
Breakups are necessary for your self growth sometimes.
Azariah Sep 2022
I sit in pain that I've felt before
And once again I'm alone.
Picking myself up once more.

I really wanted things to be different this time.
