Crying again.
I sent my heart away
It
came
back
in
pieces
The realization comes to me gently—like knives
GULLIBLE
Drip—
Drip—
Drip—
Water falls from the faucets my eyes have become
I wear a mask with a smile carved in it
He.Walks.By.
The mask slips off and shatters on the floor as he disappears
I step on the fragments—
Letting the reality seep through me like blood on the ground
Forget. Move on. Heal.
A needle and thread appear in my hand
As I pick up my heart and begin to mend.
