I need to write
I need the emotions
To flow out from my fingers
Onto this page
I need my heart to stop hurting
I need out of this phase
My insides are screaming
The pain is searing
The lungs are tight
My tears are huge
Unfailingly falling
My cheeks are wet
The taste in my mouth is salty
I just need to be okay
I need to let go of him
He needs to move on
He can’t call and say
I love you more than anything
Those 6 words tear into me
They rip my heart out of my chest
It’s like I’ve run out of oxygen
I can’t breathe
I can’t relax
I need him to let go of me
He’s holding me back
I need to be okay
I’m wiping my tears
I’m taking a deep breath
I can make it through this
Through anything.
I’m okay.
