What does a broken heart feel like?

Cold and empty

Dark and lonely

One of the few anchors holding you down

Gone in an instant

You thought you could fix it

You thought "I can change him"

You thought "it'll be ok"

You thought "I don't deserve better"

You thought "he needs me"

And then he betrayed your trust

It was unintentional

But it doesn't make it hurt less

It doesn't make the pain go away

It doesn't mend your heart

It doesn't silence the fears

That you'll never be loved again

That you're not good enough for anyone

That it was your fault

That you chose willingly to break his heart

When you're tired of being hurt

When you're tired of being manipulated

When you're tired of being treated like nothing but a possession

And you decide to break it off

Are you the bad guy?

Does that make me the one in the wrong?

Could I have saved it if I had just waited?

Tried harder?

Gave him more time?

It's too late now

The heart's been broken

The love betrayed

The trust disintegrated

The pain is real

The pain is so real

A broken heart that fears it'll never be loved again

Never be cherished or appreciated by a man

Never be understood again

Never be able to trust again

It'll come with time

The light will come

The heart will heal

The tears will stop

I just wish it would come now

Now.
