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

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
