I can barely tolerate reality-

It’s too confining

Letting go can be seen holding hands with moving on

They’re connected like him and me; us & them

Which sentence, phrase,

String of words,

Series of vowels and consonants

Has the power to bring you to your knees

Or make you shake violently,

Body racked with echoing sobs?

What would destroy you completely?

Which ones would pierce your carefully stitched-up heart of glass pieces?

Would they make you spew poison, or would you be okay with it?

Maybe they wouldn't matter as much as the person behind them

Maybe you’ve already been cut open
