Heartbreak
it seems like the beginning
but it feels like the end
if that is true
will the pain all start again?
my heart might just crack
if so, would i hear it
splinter into fine tiny lines?
it might stop, momentarily
it might fade and echo into meaningless throbs
the way that heartbreaks do.
and when it stops will i still go on?
dragging my feet, eyes to the ground, living the same life
only off-key. it would be off-key, wouldn't it?
a bittersweet melody
played in a haunting minor.
the song sings but without any words
and my heart, if it could it would've ached
even when it isn't aching, the pain, it's still there.
