I saw my preschool crush holding hands with my best friend
When I was 8 my stray cat ran away
I thought my heart had once again broken into smaller bits
I've read a lot of books involving heartache
But I'm still not an expert on the subject
When I was 12-years-old my dad stopped going to church.
I thought for sure this time my heart couldn't be fixed.
I was wrong every time.
Age 5, 8, and 12 feel so little to me now
My heart has still never truly been broken.
I've heard it explained time after time:
Heartbreak is big, dark, and it's inevitable.
I've never heard it described as little.
Soul-shattering, and world-destroying, yes.
But never little.
"But never little."
ReplyDelete"Heartbreak is big, dark, and it's inevitable."
ReplyDeleteHeartbreak is inevitable. That is a scary thought.
hmm
ReplyDeleteokay, first, kanye
ReplyDeletethen, second, that house picture
third, your specific heartbreaks
you'll probably have more heartbreak, we all will. but those first three are pretty good.
I love the way you wrote this, and how you talked about the first three heartbreaks
