You pulled me into an embrace, an embrace that I once felt warmth from.

This one felt cold and distant.

You pulled away in an instant.

The words

I’m….

Sorry….

leave your cold and pink lips.

A sudden pain strikes my heart

as I watched you turn your back and walk away.

Not a second glance was given from you-

it was as if three years of love was…never there.

Do you know what heartache feels like?

It feels as if a thousand glass shards are being lain on

the heart I opened for you.

Every piece digs a little deeper-

with every breath and step I take.

You've left me feeling so empty-

I'm as hollow as an abandoned shell.

The world around me suddenly turns dark and silent-

the sun no longer shines-

the birds don’t sing.

What did I do wrong-

was my love not enough?

I can’t see- for my tears flood my eyes.

It’s so cold.

Where are you to embrace me once more?

Where are you to lovingly whisper sweet nothings in my ear to comfort me?

I take heavy steps to the place where we once called…

ours.

I shed tears of love, hate, and pain.

Where is the you who said we would be together forever?

Where is the you who promised to love me until we were

buried side by side into the earth?

Were they just careless thoughts for you?

Did you really not mean any of the words you promised?

I was so hopeful, I was ready to start the next chapters of my life with you.

I wanted to travel the world with you by my side.

You left before I could even ask you,

When did you fall out of love with me?

It hurts me the most that someone else has captured your heart-

because I thought I had yours and you had mine.

It is only now that I realize that it never was fully here with me.

My body is feeling tired-

as I look into the distance, a white light envelopes me and I can’t see.

*Closes eyes*

I understand now.

My broken heart has taken over me.

Goodbye cruel person-

let’s not meet in the next life

for I am afraid of another heartache.
