Resuscitating My Heart Poem by Destiny K

I had a nightmare I was in love.
Floating on clouds in love,
until it's revealed to be a mirage.
The realization knocking me off my
cloud head first to the hard ground.
I grieve while trying to resuscitate
my heart through other people.
But in the end I write a eulogy
in the form of poetry as I burry
it six feet under.
Then I wake up realizing it
wasn't a nightmare.
Just a memory I experienced
while asleep dramatized.
I resuscitated my own heart.
Each beat a reminder that
the greatest love is yourself
not another body next to you.
Another soul can't love
you the way you can.
The only love that could
resuscitate my heart.
