“Heartbreaks Feeling like your heart is going to explode. But it can't, because it hurts too much. And, if your heart hurts that much, it won't explode. Wanting to scream and cry. But being too tired to do anything. Trying to focus, but only able to see and hear him. Wishing, hoping, praying that something will change. But then it only gets worse. Resisting to punch him in the face. And then only hurting yourself. Ahey call them heartbreaks. But I call them Dying just a little. Or a lot.”
