MISSING IS NOT A STRONG ENOUGH WORD

Missing is not a strong enough word.
Hearts are left breaking behind my footfalls as I walk.
Shards of red glass,
left shattered, looking so small against the sidewalk.
What am I in this world,
if every step I'm taking
is breaking hearts,
and more than half of them are my own.

Listening to Missing You by John Waite.
Not the first time I've used the "half of them are my own" for breaking hearts in a poem.
