My legs collapse from under me,
They’re no longer water or jelly.
My chest feels tight,
I cannot breathe.
I just feel completely numb,
Like my heart has plummeted downwards,
out of my chest.
The world is spinning too fast around me,
My ears are ringing.
I can’t see in front of me for my tears,
I cry inside even when there are no more tears left…
I don’t ever again want to feel as lonely as I do right now….
Is this what heartbreak feels like??

Sadly I'm afraid that is indeed what heartbreak feels like. It's a feeling I don't ever want to feel again. And I hope you never have to feel again either.

Thank you, Yemassee.
Yes, that's true. I hope I never have to go through that again. I hope the same for you also. A person can only take so many heartbreaks in a lifetime. One too many and the heart may never mend itself again.
