Simplicity

Love is just

Oxytocin

floating in your brain

But it certainly doesn't hurt

any less

Words are just

collections

of consonants

and vowels

But they still crack

my ribcage

in two

Tears are just

water

microscopic

with some other tiny things

mixed in

But they burn

and break

my skin

You were just

a boy

with cool eyes

I was just

a girl

with bruised knees

and cut lips

You only wanted

to help

to heal

to fix

Me

But you just can't fix

what isn't

broken
