Except the Heart

Mujeeb Jaihoon writes on the misplaced ubiquity of Love, save in its rightful place.

Love is in novels,
Movies, and songs.
On the café tables,
Gift boxes.
On the soulless forwards,
Lifeless emojis.
On the getaway adverts,
Cozy pillows.
Love is everywhere, except
The rightful place: the heart.
