people say it's possible
to die from a broken heart.
before you, i didn't believe it.
but then you were gone.
and suddenly,
i couldn't breathe.
i found myself sitting in the shower,
choking on boiling water and watching
my skin blister red.
suddenly,
there was a gaping hole in my chest.
there were days
where i could hardly
manage to get out of bed.
when my limbs would shake and i would have to think about each step before
i took it.
i still don't believe that it's possible to die
from a broken heart.
but i know now that it's possible to feel
like you are.
