there is a hand squeezing my heart
tight slow like it knows every part of me
holding on to the pieces i’m leaving behind
the empty rooms the silent voices the half spoken goodbyes
it does not let go
even when i try to breathe
it reminds me of what will never be the same
what will slip through my fingers like sand
and i carry it with me
a weight both sharp and familiar
a quiet ache beneath my ribs
that tells me i am not just moving forward
but carrying everything i’m afraid to lose
its starting to ring
the noise in my head
telling me im feeling
something i didn't know
i was capable of.
its getting louder
the sirens
the warning
i dont have a chance
at surviving
you dont know how close
i was to falling
to plumetting
neither do i
you came along
i cant tell
if you made things easier
or ten times more difficult
i cant tell
if i only tripped a little
you had glitter
spilling out of your mouth
fine as stardust
golden as pollen
falling to the floor
feeding no one
you’re wasting yourself
now all you feel
is emptiness
