Love shouldn’t hurt this much.
That I am sure.
I don’t know what
either of us is hoping for.
Two broken hearts
can never full make one whole.
All it does is waste time
until you’ve lost your soul.

i.** Do you remember when you used to cup the smallest part of my being near your heart like wavelengths and melodies only the whales could decipher?

ii. You once held me gently, for there was always a trembling in my chest of lost breaths and salt water memories.

iii. The tide has risen with crashing waves of grief and without you, I’m just a fish out of water.
