Broken Hearts
It’s amazing
How a broken heart
Can take a sunny day
And make it
Feel dark.
A starry
Night
Feel
Cloudy
Gloomy
And simple pleasures
Feel mute.
Anesthetized
You try to stop the pain
And it just
Throbs.
You can laugh
But that is just
a mask.
Hiding
What you really feel.
Why do I allow this
To slowly
Suck
The joyful possibilities
Out
Of
Me?
It dwarfs me
And hangs
Me
Twisting on a rope.
Nobody but me
Sees,
But it doesn’t
Mean
It’s not
There.
