Heart break wrote the poem for my dad's polisithimia meds

The Love I Choked On

By Wania Sajjad

A smile I thought was engraved on my face
Craved by love, now buried beneath your absence.
I want to write about love blooming from a simple hi
I can’t — I cut my flesh to preserve our heartbeats, but you tore the stitches for new lips.
