Landmines

My phone is littered

with emotional landmines—

it hurts to see you.

Scattered pieces fall,

a song of unwritten notes,

drifting out of reach.

In every corner

of my mind, I feel you near

an echo of love.

Everything is

a memory, with strings tied,

haunting me with you.

I replay your laugh—

a bittersweet melody

lingering through time.

And when it quiets,

your absence weighs on my chest,

breathless agony.
