What is Heartbreak?

Heartbreak is

Like sitting in a 

Run down building, and

Painting the walls

Over and over, only

To have the paint

Peeled away every day.

*

Heartbreak is

The feeling of

Being trapped in quicksand

Where every step you

Take, ends with you

Being sucked in more.

*

Heartbreak is

The feeling of

Wrapping many blankets

Around yourself, but

Still feeling cold

To the bone.

*

Heartbreak is

Like walking inside

A dark tunnel, hoping

To reach the light

At the end soon,

Only to realize halfway

That the tunnel

Is endless.

*

Heartbreak is

Living among the

Dark clouds, and

Heartbreak is

The child who

Lost his dog, and

Heartbreak is

That devastatingly beautiful

Book you read, and

Heartbreak is you.

*

Heartbreak is you.
