you don't know how much it

tears me apart to have to walk past you everyday and

pretend that my ears don't remember the sounds of your heartbeats

the way they were

terrifyingly

close

thump thump thump-

it felt like

your heart was pumping blood into my veins

and now my blood has dried and clotted

and

my heart refuses to beat.
