I don&#039;t have ambitions or desires. <br /> Being a poet isn&#039;t my ambition, <br /> it&#039;s my way of being alone.<br /> ~ Fernando Pessoa ~

How many times have you poured
Your heart into something or
To someone, then to have it lose
Interest in you or rip itself away from you
Without any warning,
The manner so gruesome and cruel that
The crime just simply cannot be undone,
No matter what?
For me, and a billion other women,
More than our poor hearts
Can bear.
