I feel as if I should feel
okay, that nothing in the world
should be able to disrupt
this calmness

that currently suffocates me.

At this moment
everything is perfect.
Nothing is wrong.

Nobody has broken my heart
and the people that I want to love me,
love me right now.
The perfect moment.

What if I mess it up?
What if this comfort is only temporary
and I become too accustomed
to its safety?

that when it is finally ripped away
I will never be able to
recover.

I am scared now.

I am frightened.

I am full of this anxiety
that will not let my heart
calm its beat,

how do I breathe?
I forgot how to breathe

Those who love me
will break my heart,
it is only a matter
of time.
I know it.
Nobody stays

Nobody believes in forever.
This is the calm before the storm,
and I am forming and creating

my own deadly
disaster.
