how do you turn a heartbreak into poetry?

1. you let your overflowing emotions fill your abbys to the brim until all you can do left is pick up a pen and let the ink stain the pages with memories and thoughts.

2. you burn all the pictures (and all the gifts he has ever given you) with the fuel in your veins that has kept the flame in your heart burning for so long.

3. you replace your dreams with thoughts and you lay awake in your bed because sleeping means dreaming and it hurts too much to see him in your dreams.

4. you smile and pretend you have the whole world in your hands because you do, even if it is just an atom of it. it counts.

5. you pick up the broken pieces and stitch them back together with late night dreams and morning poetry (because no one else would bother to fix you)
