Psychosomatic.

Oct 1

What does heartbreak feel like?

Like swallowing battery acid

And there’s a hole in your esophagus

So, the acid spreads throughout your chest

And all around your internal organs

Eating away at your insides

Until there’s nothing left but bewildering pain.

It hurts. It fucking hurts.

Excruciatingly so.

Be grateful if you can’t relate.

If you can, then be grateful that you’re not crazy

The pain that you feel is poison of humanity

If you ever wonder why it’s so hard to move on

Why we repeatedly sweep through these cycles of loss

It’s like having third degree burns on your insides

That have cauterized our mechanical parts

Recovering from these wounds you can’t see

May take a lifetime or less. We’ll see.
