Heartbreak to put simply

AUTHOR: Divya

EDITOR: Aqibah

How long is too long to wait? 

How long until I can finally lose my pretence of sanity 

And fill your inboxes with my lunacy?

I will write your name with my blood all over the walls 

You build around your heart,

It’s just platonic, I murmur in the dark. 

The demons morph to look like you,

Holding a gun to my head, blaming me 

For the wreckage of our ship.

You are forcing me to drown .

Anything is better than your indifference, so I let you 

Push my head into the water

I preserve the bullet in a glass case shaped like my heart.

You’ll perhaps then see how fragile I really was ,

And the stone you pretended I had in my chest was a life you 

Destroyed to feel better about yourself
