Crestfallen
She ~
bench pressed me
into obsession,
lifting me
UP
too high.
Evidently ~
i was too HEAVY;
the weight of our lust
crushed us,
smothered us, both. . .
when she let go
of the apparatus
that held our vested years
together
only a nonsensical equation:
1 x 1 = zero
became our divided remainder
& common denominator

How heavy it is to abandon oneself to the sweet venom of love. When we fall, we fall deep and there is no safety net. But I believe that this is why your spill is so beautiful. Because by free falling for love, you are deemed to enter all its folds and set free, as one possibly can, those emotions, hence becoming poetry. Truly beautiful and heartbreaking.

Dear T,
Oh this is a week of heartbreak.
Your piece has reeled me in aa though it was a mothership calling. The second stanza rung very true and very relatable for me. You have embraced the emotion and devastation of a breakup so concisely and wonderfully it took my breath away. H🌷

Breaking up is almost always brutal
when both go into its onset all in.
thank You for the kind share
