I sent my ex
The poem I wrote about him.
Wait, no.
We never dated.
I like to call him that
For my self preservation.
So I sent my friend
Who once fucked me
A shard of my heart
So he can cut his fingers
When he touches it.
Wait, we never even talked.
So I sent a stranger
A sacred secret
About how I continue to love him
Despite his indifference.
He said thanks for sharing.
I sent my vulnerability
To a man who does not care
Licked the envelope closed
Because tortured desire
Is the only type of love I know.
About the Creator
Sara
Don’t look for love.
Be love.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
