my heart will break
and the world will suffer a thousand little fractures.

the night will seize my veins
and course through me like needles latching to my skin.

the tears will sear my flesh
and fill my throat
in a vicious hope to choke me.

the sadness will overwhelm my being
until it obliterates my existence.
unless anger overcomes.
and it will.

the rage will swell inside me and boil through the sockets of my eyes,
creating a fire in my pupil and a fury at my touch.

my heart will break
and you will suffer
a thousand little fractures.
and with each blow that cracks the marrow in your bones
will be a stitch to men my broken, bleeding, beating heart.
