What Is Heartbreak?

Chest cold and tight,
my eyes empty,
my hearts not right,
im having trouble breathing,
the light is slowly receiding,
and i feel as if im dead inside,
my body feels heavy,
im not ready for this news,
are you going to break me apart,
or hold me as i hide,
this pain is incredible,
unlike anything before,
where does it start and end,
im not really sure...

LOVE this Rain [Bow]. I'm dealing with these emotions right now and it sucks. Nothing should hurt this bad or make you feel so alone. Heartbreak is hell. Thanks for this piece Monica

I enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Rain (Bow). It has been awhile since you last posted. I am looking forward to tomorrow and what I might read of yours again. Never let your pen lay and dry out. The best to you in your writing endeavors whatever they may be. Love, Carol
