What’s the difference between
a break up
and a breakdown?
Direction.
The weight.
A break up is
disintegration.
A breakdown is
collapse.

I’m tired of hearing that I’m
intimidating,
too much,
that you’re
not ready,
not good enough.

There are a lot of things I’m scared of
but love isn’t one of them.
After everything you’ve seen,
how can that be what scares you?
Don’t tell me you’re afraid.
The truth is
you don’t love me.
What you’re afraid of
is the look in my eye
when you’re hurting me.
