Half-full, Half-empty

But really, have I learned? Relationship after relationship, here I am again, shattered. In just a couple of seconds, all the good memories are gone, blown by the cool wind. And how’s my heart? Cold. Freezing cold that sends me shivers from the tip of my hair to my toes. I feel my chest stabbed in the middle, my heart wanting to pop out. I could feel the blood rushing out of my nerves. I am now screaming inside, crying out loud. Flashbacks, memories drifting one by one in my half-conscious mind. One by one they start to fade. I could feel the earth swallow me whole. I feel empty now. With no one to tell the misery I am going through, I now realize I have been all alone. My frozen heart has popped out of my chest, finally touching the floor. Fragments scattered, I have no idea how to pick them up and glue them together again. But as I have always said, no matter how you glue the pieces together, it will never be the same. There will always be flaws to remind you how bad it has gone through. In time, I will have the strength to stand up and to fix myself. But for now, I savor the bitterness of this solitude as I lay on the floor.
