When the heart of a poet gets broken

He doesn't burn photographs

He doesn't join therapy sessions

He doesn't smoke too many cigarettes

Nor he drown himself into alcohol

He scratches his wounds daily

And never let them heal

He doesn't try to get rid of the pain

Instead he let it grow on him

He waters the seed of sorrow with his tears

He feeds it with the manure of old memories

He takes it to sleep with him

And nurtures it in himself

Till the moment when every single drop of his blood gets replaced by this pain

Until his fragile heart can bear no more

And his soul starts overflowing with emotions

That's when he dip his pen into this pain

And empty his heart on a piece of paper

He bares his soul for us to feel

He creates poetry that the world would cherish for centuries to come
