Break Me

Like every love story it began beautifully 
days spent fervently loving each other
worshiping bits and pieces of their souls
breathing each other in
lazily becoming a whole
until they weren’t.

Like every heartbreak
shedding unstoppable tears 
swearing you won’t subject yourself to something similar again 
finding recourse in a fragile heart 

After everything 
She chose not to dwell on the hurt 
She dwelled on the times he made her feel beautiful 
He was her anchor, the air she chose to breathe 
He made her feel special 
She chose to think of the sound of her name from his lips 
She chose to think of the feel of his lips on hers
She caught herself smiling once in a while at the thought of him 
One day she hoped her heart will open and be able to love like she did him  
But there are some things love can’t fix.
