for jaemint, a piece of my soul
i will write a post-birthday post maybe tomorrow, but today i'll just post something for my jasmine. idk what's going on, bb love, but i'm sorry, and i wish i could take the hurt away.
a soliloquy: to the sea (or, breaking my heart to heal your hurts)
and it's like a hammer to the heart
(this is how it breaks)
when the world takes
you
for granted.
(this is how it
shatters, a fist to the mirror,
a spiderweb of cracks on the glass, shards
and blood digging back into flesh.)
and it's like a hammer to the heart
(another blow)
when all i want to do
is to hold you
(i would swim oceans for you,)
and i all can do is cradle your heart
with phonecalls and fragments
(words) from my soul.
