The Heart in Your Shoe
In the morning your heart is bursting just as it was in the evening. It was bleeding under your sheets, but you have to get out now. You force your heart into your shoe and leave a mark wherever you go. Nobody seems to see that gaping hole in your chest. You don't dare to open your mouth in fear that it'll let out all of the pieces you desperately want to keep inside. In that moment you're holding humanity in your hands. You will carry yourself and you know you will suffer. I carry myself into ache, too. I think I am only safe in your memory.
It will be okay. Even if it doesn't look like it.
