"You wake
to find love
crushed at your doorstep.
As if overnight
someone had tried to slip it under
but it was too big,
too unfamiliar to fit
in your chest.
The earth shakes and
all the cities under your skin
are falling.
And no one is around
to hear it.
Are you still broken
if nobody witnessed your collapse?
So you carry it with you.
All this
crushed love,
these quivers of regret.
And they never tell you how hard it is
to lose love in people. How
at night you can still feel
your heart tugging towards them."
