"when we all know everyone’s life
has been hard enough already,
it’s hard to watch
the game we make of love,
like everyone’s playing checkers
with their scars,
saying checkmate
whenever they get out
without a broken heart.

just to be clear
i don’t want to get out
without a broken heart.

i intend to leave this life
so shattered
there’s gonna have to be
a thousand separate heavens
for all of my flying parts."
