3 word poem: Heartbreak-sorrow-freedom

On my instagram, I ask my followers to describe in 3 words how they felt. And I turned some of these three words in to poems. Here's on about Heartbreak-sorrow-freedom

I hold in my hands,

my shattered heart.


In the fragments,

sorrow resides.

Yet when they sing,

freedom whispers.


With care,

I assemble the pieces,

letting the dust of who we were

slip through my fingers.


Maybe the cracks,

can serve as a map.

To the unknown,

to the uncharted,

back to myself.
