shoved my fingers
through the dirt
faster
to bury
the way you
made my heart
stop
and race
all at the
same time.
do not be fooled -
i have no heart.
what i let you see
was weakness
and nobody
should know.
so i will
take the piece of me
that i found in you
and shove it
under the weeds
and wildflowers
where it will never
grow.
i will curse
my tears
that fall like rain
on the graveyard
of my pain
and the sunshine
that smiles
on the barren ground.
i cannot love -
it hurts.

Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white human brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just overtop the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.

Heartbreaking yet so powerful and beautifully written.
This piece beautifully captures the bittersweet dance between love and heartbreak. Gosh, I love it! ✨️✨️
It very sad but I love the flow of this poetry. Excellent work❤️
Absolutely heartbreaking!!!❤️❤️💕
I love it! Also, sometimes, even though I don’t know, I wonder what it would be like to hangout with you. It seems like some of our works have some common themes
Simply fantastic and so emotional.
