I’d rather you break my bones
instead of my heart
because bones are easier to fix.
With x-rays you can identify the problem,
with casts you can help it heal
and with painkillers you can numb the pain,
but the only solution for a broken heart
is, unfortunately, time.

She’s always hugging people
because she knows better than anyone
that sometimes people just need to be
physically held together
to stop them from emotionally falling apart.

And even after
you had chased away the moon
and stolen all the stars,
leaving an empty, inky sky,
you will never be able to stop
the sun from meeting me;
for the blackest nights,
robbed of all light,
give way to the break of dawn.
Always.

When you hit me,
words bloomed beneath my skin
instead of bruises.
When your words cut me,
I bled poetry
instead of blood and tears.
When your anger was a storm,
I didn’t fear the rain
I just learned to appreciate the sun more.
When your presence brought darkness,
I learned to make my own light
by feeding my heart of fire.

There used to be a light in her eyes,
and a fire in her heart,
but it no longer shines as bright.

And he’s afraid that it’ll go out,
Forever.
