Atom

Feelings and love are like a

smallest possible quantity.

Love is like particles for

a tiny amount of substance

Love is a light thump within

within my tight heart—

And love pulses within 

a pulse in my chest.


If I could break the physics' laws,

Touch the atom, as I touch

the very verse, of your poem,

While seeing it with my naked eyes,

Subdivide it, and destroy it.


Probably my infirmed heart says:

The law of physics cannot be broken.


If only I could...

will you ever love me again?
