looking back on a previous ailment
December 29, 2015
everyone describes it as a sinking feeling.
I felt it more like a steamroller on my chest,
squeezing my heart of all its contents.
my self-esteem pressed into the newly laid asphalt
while my motivation shriveled up
under the unforgiving sun.
Love stuck to the steamroller
and got pulled out of me like
it was never there to begin with,
the only thing left holding together my crippled heart was
Sadness
who sewed me back together all wrong;
too blinded by his own tears to watch his stitching.
