this is why my heart holds no love
i often spend late nights
crying in bed about how
you’re not next to me and how humanity is cruel.
And the tears that prick
my eyes like needles
feel like scorching flames as they
slide down my face.
And through this, the fire
in my eyes is gone.
And every breath I take—
thinking about you,
or the girl I used to love a thousand miles away,
or humanity and all it’s bits and pieces—
feels like smoke, running down my lungs.
i know my insides
are soot covered and shadowy,
like the bleakness the angels see
when they peers down at
humanity from their pristine heaven.
And then the tears that have
spilled and dripped and dropped
down my cheeks—
they leak through the cracks in my heart,
and they melt away at whatever remains in there.
i wake up the next morning from crying
And my heart is turned to dust—
Nothing remains but ashes.
