Can you die from a feeling?
So deep and unappealing

When your heart shatters--
the heaviest pieces still beating

get lodged in the throat
is it possible that you can choke?

They sink to your stomach
And then to your feet
Something now missing—left incomplete

I guess it’s apparent
It must be loud
The thunderous boom
The crashing sound
The smaller pieces missing
Lost—never to be found
