Last night,
before I closed my eyes
to sleep
my heart said, “I can’t wait
to love myself to another day.”
Today,
I woke up and felt my heart
was breaking.
“What happened?” I asked it gently.
“The same thing that always happens,” it replied.
“You teach me how to love myself by destroying myself
and now I’m breaking.”

“The same thing that always happens,” it replied.
“You teach me how to love myself by destroying myself
