I have witnessed the birth of happiness
and the end of innocence.
When one dies, another takes its place.
It's a roll of the dice of what replaces the first.
I take in the pain of a once-loved song skipped,
the partially read book collecting dust,
my collection of blank journals hidden away,
and a stomach stretched from empty binges.
I don't know if I deserve relief from this.
Relief is temporary.
The pain doesn't stop coming back.
No matter how far I run,
how much I write,
how much I love those worthy,
I can't untangle those parts of my cracked heart.
