Again & again

I wish

I could feel

less.

love,

hate,

hope—

they all burn

too bright

in me.

I care

with everything

I am,

even for those

who leave me

empty.

you—

you are

a storm

in my chest,

a bruise

on every

tender part

of me.

I want to stop

loving you.

I try.

god, I try.

but my heart

doesn’t

listen

to logic.

it only

beats

for you.

and breaks

for you.

again.

and

again.
