Via Dolorosa By: Rachelle Estinvil

Rachelle Estinvil, Fall Editor

i watched as you captured my heart,

i stared as you grabbed your flame,

i stood as you lit it bright,

i winced at the burning pain.

 

i sobbed as the squeezing hurt,

would it ever stop getting worse?

please can i just have it back?

i’ll put my walls up and shut out the universe.

 

when you gave my heart back,

i noticed it cleansed and free.

shattered and broken because

you ripped all my memories away from me

 

all gone.
