Dealing with Heartbreak is Easy
🕑 Added 2024-07-22 04:28:40 +0000 UTCDealing with heartbreak is as easy as walking on Saturn’s rings. You wake up at 2 am with dust in your eyes and a wad of straw in your throat swearing that this day—this godawful day—you’ll reach sunrise before excavating your heart and swallowing it whole. Lord knows you’ve done it a thousand times before, so you get up. You fake sanity. You put on the face that says, “I’ve never experienced suffering. I'm just another ordinary human earning cash for rent.”
Dealing with heartbreak is easy — as easy as catching plenty of fish in the sea, so you swim out with chum in your pockets and blood in your mouth swearing that this time you won’t fall for a man in a white linen shirt with a thousand stories to tell. This time you will behave like the stoic you are not. This time you’ll catch a lanternfish instead of a shark.
Emotions are liabilities. The more you feel them, the more tears you owe after he’s gone, so dealing with heartbreak is easy. Simply don't feel. Don't find him beautiful. Don't feel his skin against your mouth. It’s as easy as catching a rainbow in your hands. Thousands have done it before you.

🤣 Yes. No heartbreak here. I always write dark poems.
