time is supposed to heal all wounds
right?
then how come my pain
doesn’t work like that?
even though
i am completely
and irrevocably
in love,
my past still haunts me
and reminds me
of the shattered glass
from long ago.
i don’t think new love
is supposed to heal your old broken heart.
i believe in a multiverse heart theory..
where my new heart is full of love
and continues to remain unbroken
but my old heart,
the one from my past,
is still missing some pieces
or hurts when i think about love lost
and i don’t know if those broken pieces
will ever be mended.
and maybe that’s okay,
because to feel pain is human
and it’s humbling to be reminded
of someone lost a long time ago.
they will forever remain a memory,
a shadow,
an incomplete whole;
and nothing will change that,
not even my shiny new heart.
