When my heart broke I hoped
That my body would break down too.
For all I looked for, were signs that dismissed the voices,
"You are a fool.
A fool who takes too much space."
"You are too young and too naive"
"You are incapable,
You are insignificant,
you are unnecessary."
I heard the synthetic confession of love,
I saw the victory join your riled up eyes as I gradually coiled back into my shell,
I smelt the room fill with thick pungent smoke of your power and my desire to be loved,
But I waited,
I waited for my skin to report it,
To show,
To know,
To prick the bubble of my trust,
And to start picking up the pieces.
