When I Break

the day that
i break
it will have been
from loving too much...

they will say
that my heart
swelled
so much
it couldn't withstand;
that my light
became too bright for
my own eyes to take...

they will tell me
as a cautionary tale
and use
my story
as a warning...

never will they realize
that this,
right here
is how i
always wanted to go...

never will they realize
that i
continue to love
with every broken,
jagged little
shard
of my shattered self
