They Say

bury your feelings
behind a dilapidated building
and pray the rats
don’t die from
the poison being fed to them

or, forget you’ve had
a crush when that crush
ain’t crushing on you
and you know they
never will

and pick your heart up
off the floor, scrape it
clean,
someone else is waiting
in line to break it
