Two Band-Aids

I placed two band-aids in the shape of an x over my heart
and at the end of the day, pulling them off
should have been the thing that hurt the most.

They should have caused the most pain that day
but they didn't. They barely compared.
They barely compared to what was tearing my heart into pieces.
