You don't know what it is to walk though a city broken hearted.
Your steps feel meaningless and hollow; you still walk.
There still are things to do and places to be, but your steps...seem to become robotic.
There's no heart behind them.
You're just following them.
Because anything is better than staying still.
Still, the world seems so big and you feel so small against it all.
Life gave you an armor. A shield. A sword.
As long as I knew I was loved nothing really mattered.
And when things don't really matter, oddly enough, that's when you end up conquering them.
Walking broke hearted through a city is an odd thing.
The faces you cross appear menacing.
The city's allures seem so mundane and pedestrian.
You feel apart. Disconnected. Your mind, your heart, your being, is elsewhere.
So you live as a ghost.
A ghost is imperceptible.
It never gets far.
Not a way I would suggest living for too long.
