Sam H.

the inner workings of a thief

the emeralds and rubies, accessible love, were handed to you, rendered meaningless.


the absence of love leaves me wanting. the abundance

of love draping over your shoulder, did you ever cherish it

the way i would have with my empty palms?


the emeralds and rubies, accessible love, were handed to you,

rendered meaningless. you wanted my fossilized love, the purest

diamond extracted — stolen from the earth’s sacred caves —

with high-pressure precision. the glittering jewel, a symbol

of promise, awes your friends, protected behind a refracted display.

but when the sparkle fails to captivate your judgmental audience,

you remove me from the velvet pedestal, crush me

under your shoes into fine powder — no

one else can have such a beautiful gem

after your hands have graced this chemical heart.
