i find the beating nerve on my chest,
soothe it with words of indifference -
do not get attached to what is not yours;
do not hang your hopes upon the mantel of his presence.
i repeat them often; my mantra.
always unsure, as i call, jawbone queasy, if it is self-love or self-doubt that drives my anxious heart
