The simple crack of heartbreak
The silent tear that screams
The hurried steps of shame
The things you’re not allowed to see
Eyes rimmed red from disappointment
Stomach hanging on by a shred of hope
Numbness of sleep seeming inviting
Battling feelings that want to show
Breathing is chaotic and heavy
Blotching face buried into a pillow
Running the many memories in my mind
Devastated because I can’t let go.
