i have a playlist titled
"breakup jams"
that i listen to
despite being in a relationship.
songs that cover the loss, the healing
the recovery.
good, bad, ugly.
because sometimes
you go through a different breakup.
not your relationship, though.
that's all fine and dandy.
but a breakup with yourself
like you're leaving yourself
or there's that small
leftover pain from before
that just hasn't healed.
the lyrics
the music
feed the pain
keep it at bay until it goes for good
but it always returns.
somedays,
you just need the breakup jams
to finally cope
with your losses.
