Seeing something that shatters your heart intoΒ slivers and needles. Screaming at the top of your lungs in the car, where no one can hear your pain. Tears a blinding veil, cascading uninhibited down your cheeks. Then the numbing truth envelopes every tiny, broken particle of your dying heart with ice. The body's defense against the piercing pain. The tears stop, the well is dry. Your voice leaves you, the screams useless against the ache. He never loved you, it was all an act. He moved on without a thought for you, and now he is hers. And you, well you're alone as you always have been my dear.
