GRIEF Poem: Three Words Deep, by Lilly Hartley-Pantoja

“I love you.”
Three words.
Seven letters.
Enough to end
the universe
that you started.

“I hate you.”
Three words.
Seven letters.
Enough to mark
a new constellation—
an end to you and I.

“I miss you.”
Three words.
Seven letters.
Lies of betrayal—
twisted like a heated dagger
to an injured heart.
