Everyone always tells you that heartbreak is sad
That they get it
Everyone gets it
But they don’t tell you
How it feels
Like someone
sitting on your chest
While you play house
And all the best tricks and love
Aren’t enough
To make them stay
How powerless it feels
Like caring for a dying grandparent
The end inevitable
So you make it as comfortable and kind
As you can
And in two seconds you’re four again
And dad isn’t coming home
And no one tells you
That hurts too
Because “for the better”
Never cuts it
When you really just want someone
Anyone
To stay
Just a little longer
Just this one time
