how long can i hold on to this secret
our time is running out
how can i even exist?
i don’t think i’m ready
to face the possibility
of days ahead without you

is it possible to grieve something that still exists?

it hurts so much
as i cry
knowing that
i can’t be yours
forever

my heart is not yours to keep

it’s a delicate creature
and you’ve mishandled me
messy
unlike a butcher
with clean cuts and intricate lines
saving all pieces

a ritual sacrifice

my heart on my sleeve
crawling back into my chest
where it’s safe as it bleeds
caged up like protection
ribs echoing affection
healing
from misplaced attention

[added on 04/03/25]
ears on the ground
holding its breath
at the crunch of tires
searching for familiar
my heart, a dog
still waiting by the window...
