Heartbreak Once Ate Half of Me
i lit fire in my chest
each time it blazes, i breathe blue smoke,
maybe heartbreak is another death that burn us alive.
i make sour song out my voice when i cry,
i slip off from the bed while asleep
& heave myself to the wall.
i have known life do not always bring you everything,
but i know the taste of heartbreak.
there are ways love will break you into emptiness,
& ways we struggle to carry it on our shoulders.
