Titles are Overrated

Part 148

Skinny love,

it breaks us to the bones.

We pretend 

we don't share secret glances,

or hold each other

a little longer than we should.

I never thought

you'd be anything more,

but it was quiet

and my heart was beating so loud.

It nearly cracked

my ribs

trying to tell you.

I'm not afraid of having my heart

broken.

I'm afraid of losing you,

everything we have.

I would sit here

in silence,

and suffocate my feelings

forever

if I had to.

I will.

you break my silence
