Falling

I have this sleepiness in my heart

And this longing in my eyes

I can feel my throat trying to scream

And my jaw tensing up

I am heavy

I am fragile

There are fragments of galaxies lodged in my ribcage

And pieces of lovers stuck in my arteries

I am falling

And I do not know if I am falling asleep

Or falling in love

I am just hoping that wherever I land

Will be enough

To finally fill this aching emptiness inside of me.
