Statue

 

My heart

feels like it weighs

one million pounds

as it slowly sinks

into the depths of my body

past my lungs

filled with the memory

of your smell

past my stomach

past my guts

which have been wrenched out anyway

past my hips

past my calves

past my knees

that used to knock

at the thought of you

past my ankles

and into my feet

turning me into a marble

statue

unable to move

unable to move on.
