i use to cry every night
one day my brother told me if i keep crying like that ill have a heart attack
as a matter of fact
i did have one
i died and revived in a matter of five minutes
and in those five minutes i ranted about why i would never cry again
why the tears on my cheeks weren't worth the time
and why the feeling of being out of breath was a feeling that didn't define me
every huff and puff was everything i couldn't put into words
i prayed to the lord to take the pain away
back then i didn't understand.
understand that every tear was a letter of the alphabet
A-Z
the index to my heart.
