when a heart breaks.
Car accidents end with a bang,
falling ends with a thud,
even writing makes
the scratching sound
of pencil against paper.
But the sound of a heart breaking
is completely silent.
Almost as though no one,
not even the universe itself
could create a sound
for such devastation.
Almost as though
silence is the only way
the universe could pay its respect
to the sound of a heart falling apart.”
