Poems on broken hearts,
I relate and so do you.
Are there poems on breaking someone into a million pieces? Would you and I relate to the same?
From where do I pick the courage to write about it? I wonder,
From the ashes among the cigarette buds? From the trashcan filled with used beer bottles?
From the clothes that don't fit me anymore?
From the poems that I left unfinished?
From the 5th chapter of the manuscripts that would never see the light?
From the words I deleted as I type?
From the old pictures of my ex-boyfriend with his new love?
I wonder,
Would you and I relate?
Would you and I accept being the villain, I wonder.
And, I ask myself,
Why do I pull you on my poems about breaking hearts at all. Am I so afraid of confronting myself that as I look into the mirror I want to see a crowd?
