Heartbreak

You know when you’re little, and you think about “heartbreaks” it was never really something you thought you could feel. It was something you heard about, saw in movies where someone will cry and cry about losing someone. You wondered, why is it called a “heartbreak”, does your heart really break?

Until you grow older, and you actually experience the feeling for the first time, the second, third, and so on. Each heart break hurts incredibly. You feel it in your chest. It’s tight and wants to jump out of your body. Your heart feels like its stuck in your throat, and you sob and sob…maybe you’ll scream out to the world, and maybe you’ll hit something. And you feel it - your heart breaking into pieces inside of you. You grip your chest wanting the pain to go away, but it doesn’t. There’s only one thing that could really mend your heart at that moment, to hear that it’s not really true. You’re in denial, you must be dreaming. But it’s true, it’s happening. Your heart is breaking. It wants to jump out of your body and die. But instead, it sits inside of you letting you carry around that pain until over time…it just heals.

Maybe that's just me.
