Challenging Heartbreak to a Duel

All I get are fragments.
That's all we ever get, really.

constellations in waiting / lights in the dark
coming up for air /and finding ourself still together
dream chasing and life giving
soft outsides and softer insides
tell me, how do I stay this way?

It hurt but it did not harden me.
It hurt but I'm here.
It hurts and I'm healing.

My heartbreak meets the sunshine
and in this moment I am miracle and joy
refusing to drown in the tears.
