Poem by E. K. Heflin of Burroughs High School
1st Place for High School Poetry - 2016 Met Awards
I have ached away
a thousand lonely hours
I have dismantled myself with hope
When I imagine this ruthless heart
quitting you
cold
Like an addict
with a lease on life
ten years overdue
I cannot bring myself
to ache properly
I cannot bring myself
to try.
