Takotsubo
I have yet to see a broken bone
by means of infection
break another
When hands hold
When legs lock
When arms embrace
Why then has my heart feared
for as long as it has beat broken
that it's tears and holes
might walk across our chests
jump through heaving breaths
and make yours its home?
Will you hold me responsible?
When our lips touch
If blood rushes
If I let you heal me
And in the process
Your heart breaks too?
