I know nothing of heartbreak.
I haven't felt my chest crumble under the pressure of my lungs.
I haven't forgotten how to breathe.

I know nothing of heartbreak.
I haven't choked on air,
Or words.
Or thoughts.
I haven't crumbled in on myself.
I haven't hurt so much that I can never remember a time before hurt.
I haven't ever measured time using my heightening pain.

I know nothing of heartbreak.
My dreams didn't crumble before me.
I had never questioned every truth in fear of it being another lie.
I have not mistrust.
I have not insecurities.
I have not known disappointment.

I know nothing of heartbreak.
I haven't bled words in hope to find peace.
I haven't had sleepless nights.
Or forced myself to eat.
I haven't shattered and picked up my pieces all by myself.
I know nothing of heartbreak.
