Still There

By: Jenny Asako Novak

When your body becomes tense
and your tears roll down hot
When your mouth is dry
and your eyes become bloodshot

While you stand like a rock
and your movements are solid
When your joke is lame
your smile just hid

While your eyes only focus on one thing
and your heart stops beating
You lick you lips
when your teeth are grinding

When your words are silent
and your whispers are screaming
When your visions are hazy
while your head is leaning

When you start to pant
and your heart is black
When the light reflects your eye
and you have a bend in your back

What you know is true
what's happening is actually happening
The world stops revolving when you never blinked
let me tell you, a heartbreak is by far that worst thing
