I am prone to heartbreak.
I know this every time I try to console my fluttering heart; every single morning,
the same thought, the same fear.
I wish it was a mere fleeting thought, but-
I am prone to heartbreak.
Every time I slip out of bed after midnight, wide-eyed. I see nightmares,
but is that what I should call them;
are they truly nightmares or the vile reality?
I am stuck feeling my heart throb and clench, dreading the moment it would shatter like a china tea cup.
I can already imagine my bleeding fingers picking up the broken pieces, wincing every time I cut myself; drawing blood, and along with it: hope. Until I bleed myself dry.
I can already imagine myself sitting leg-crossed on the floor, amidst the broken pieces of my heart, drenched in blood; glassy-eyed, and truly, utterly- empty.
I just know I am prone to heartbreak.
