FORTUNA
9.15.19
its a funny feeling
wanting so badly to stop loving somebody
and then the moment when you do –
can feel, at times, like the slaughter of nothing at all.
i don’t think the idea of loving you went away
it just got shoved under the bed
collecting cobwebs
forming into something that made a burning sensation in my chest go away.
you started a forest fire in my heart
and i thought the pain was worth the heat.
