I can feel the pain clutching my heart
Squeezing out every ounce of liquid possible
It's demanding blood
It's demanding tears
It's demanding my soul
I do not know when it's my turn to demand it to stop,
To get up and leave because
this is not what I need
Yet I don’t
My tongue, locked in knots I cannot break
My heart, collapsing with every explosion that hits and it aches
I try to breathe but the oxygen cannot reach my lungs
And I look up to the sky,
Eyes spinning around seeking for refuge
I am going to die, I say
Right before the remains of my heart turn into debris,
I fall to the earth as it welcomes me
to a new life
to a new heart
and a whole new set of pain.
