The City Inside My Chest

Carry the weight of a thousand forgotten streets within your ribs and let the rain wash clean the maps of every love you've ever known.

You stand alone in a room where the silence hums with the distant traffic of a city that exists only inside your chest, its streets paved with the footprints of those who loved you and its stations built for the trains that carried them away. As you breathe, the architecture shifts with every sigh, blending the concrete chill of lost letters with the soft glow of a moon that never rises above the horizon but lives eternally in your heart.
