Cracked


What we think is heartbreak
Is only a crack
Tiny
But it feels like our heart has been shattered
Like a glass dropped
Pieces
That’s what we picture our hearts as
In pieces


But it’s just a little crack
Nothing significant
Except it hurts
Like a blade
Against skin


And once again
There is a crack in my heart
Caused by loss
More and more loss
The living keep dying
And I can’t cope anymore


And my heart feels so heavy
Even with all those cracks
Around the edges
Slowly reaching the center
My heart
Threatening to snap
In half


I can’t breathe


I need everything to stop
Everyone I’ve lost
To come back
Hold me tight
Fill in those cracks


To stop me from
Breaking
