Blinding rain of tears pouring from my eyes. Needles of pain stab my fleshy heart. Fear and depression pulsate through my mind. Dry throat! Can't swallow my pride and return to a more painful yesterday. A yesterday of cutting insults and constant emotional injuries. Inescapable pain - with or without love! It is in vain that love be sought. I will learn to live with the numbness that will replace my fantasies; My inadequacies; my imperfections; my expectations and disappointments. My broken heart!
