It is just that simple
I will break your heart…
and you will follow my hands with your eyes
like a little pigeon pushed to a corner;
vulnerable
lonely
still following my every step;
running after me when I’m leaving
running away from me when I come towards you:
Fearful yet faithful
that my hands will comfort your little scarred bleeding heart.
But I,
will break your heart…
Even though the ice in my chest
thaws between those hands;
those fingers
with their gentle roughness
those strong green pumping lines
that make me feel so little:
as if I’m traveling in your veins
curling up by the white hill of your knuckle…
No your hands,
with their enviable control
and the ability to bruise my soul
will not stop me…
I will pick you up,
from that corner
feed you bread crumbs
and then smother you
with my overbearing love…
Didn’t I tell you?
I will break your heart.

Dang typos!
"Didn't I tell you?
I will break your heart."
So true of human relationships - and scary.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this, Negin.
Hope you are well!
(Please excuse my old, feeble brain... J. asked six weeks ago, that I send you a link about the US State Dept. changes for student visas... did I do that?)
