you used to make me feel
like i was unstoppable
floating
soaring
higher than the rest of the world
on wings you gave me.

now
i feel weighted
heavy
flightless
i reach out to you
my heart
on a string
you cut it.

every time
it falls
breaks
shatters
a million pieces.

but this time
maybe things will be different
this time you will look at me
those eyes
so many feelings
you will say something
new.
