You know that favorite cup of yours?
Porcelain white with golden edges.
All cared for and hand washed daily.
That cup broke into a thousand pieces.
You know that heart you used to inhabit?
Red smooth muscle of arteries and veins.
An open chest and under pressure of blood.
That heart broke into a thousand tears.
You know that person who used to love you?
That person broke down and left...

This is quite good, Paulo. I loved the beginning especially. With the broken cup. Because it's symbolic of conversations over coffee being no more.
Well written, throughout.

This poem really speaks to the emotional struggle of a broken heart. Your use of vivid imagery with the shattered cup and broken heart is incredibly relatable, showing us just how fragile love can be and how much strength it requires to recover from such pain. Great job!
