I am not sad.

I am not sad

I am not even melancholic

But now and then I turn transparent

And I grieve

I grieve collectively

For all the nights I have cried through

For all the mornings I couldn’t get out of bed

For all the smiles I never smiled

And all the laughs I never had

All the moments when I thought of you

You…

Who are you?

You come to me with a new person every time

And then you turn away

I can’t make you care

I can’t make you love

I can’t make you stay

I think you are broken

Into a million pieces

And I’ll never have you whole

And when the last bit of you meets me

I’ll shatter into a million pieces too

Because you are killing me

Slowly

Every time you come with another man to me.
