Those First Heartbreaks
Heart once whole, brimming, and spotless.
Once whole and held with delicate hands.
Delicate hands slowly slipping away.
Not ready for the loss of this embrace.
Embrace ripped away too rapidly.
Sadness strikes faster than a viper.
Sucking all the life out of my soul.
Like a puppet on strings, lifeless.
Being dragged through the motions of life.
World now dull, colors no longer vibrant.
Food tastes of ash, eating only to survive.
Sleep, a reminder of abandonment.
That first heartbreak always catastrophic.
Heart enclosed, tears building walls thicker than before.
Slowly healing the shadows of the past.
Heart not quite the same, left weak and scattered.
Left different, pieces missing from heartbreak.
Heartbreak concealed by her masks.
Walls now built to keep out attachment.
