I can't compare

I hold my heart behind locked doors,
Worn and bruised from love before.
Each scar it bears, a whispered name,

We're Probably Getting Back Together Soon
...
My phone died this week.
I’ve ordered a new one—
I’d like to say I’ve enjoyed the silence,

standing still in a bustling sea of aliens

Feeling insignificant I don’t...

Did the night always end so soon
I feel the fire in me subside with the fading of his glow

The Love of My Life
...
The love of my life did not love me,
And I have pined for him these long lonely years.
He did not see the many tears I have cried,

Lonelier than lonely, the walls cry out to I.
I choke on sour taste as I attempt to reply.
Feelings bunch up to crouch inside my throat.

The polar opposite of eternal health
is terminal disease,
with unease perhaps lying/truthing
