when a glass window shatters,
the easiest thing to do is pick up all of the pieces
and put a temporary covering over it until it can be replaced.

when a person’s heart shatters,
there isn't an easy was to gather all of the pieces.

you feel as if every small shred of glass
is piercing through your body
and there is no way
to make it stop.

you crave him.

you want to ask him to help you clean it up,
but he is
n

to be found.

you hate him.

your main desire is to find him
and do everything in your power to make him feel as
b
             r

         k

and lifeless as he did to you.

you need him.

you’re hyperventilating because he is the only form of water
that your lungs know of,
and you can’t breathe without the scent of his cologne
running through your senses.

you are nothing.
