The Capacity of your Love (part 2 of November’s poem)

Toka Siyam

Contributor



You get overwhelmed by the capacity of your love


By the conditions and the way your heart still breaks


Even when you thought it was shattered to pieces


You shut them all out because you can’t bear to be hurt again


Why don’t they love me like I love them ?

your shadow is keeping you hostage


Away from everyone who loves you because what if they don’t ?


Because love is so hard to understand, the kid inside never learned it


And so you live to be haunted by it
