Sleepless

You waited for the moment I opened my heart, to tear it apart. You waited for the second of weakness, to turn long-term into briefness. You had gone sleepless.

Love is never infinite

It’s as though you laughed when you tore my heart. I painted a picture. A fruit bowl of art. Love is never infinite.
