The feeling of heartbreak

 


Hurt. The last feeling before

you regain your hope

and find new pathways forwards.

 

It stings, worse than anything.

It's like the pain of walking

barefoot over

a field of barbed pins.

Searching for a four-leaf clover

but only feeling the skin

scratching aside,

pulling your flesh to one side

before the deep pit of salt

that awaits your next stride.

 

It's that jolt in the chest

feels like it's being stretched,

Pulled to test

how much pressure

can be applied before it tears.

Heart aches with each beat,

reverting pain around your body

from your head to your feet.

Fear starts the taps of sweat flowing.

Will I get out of this alive, or us this it,

is my final curtain closing?

 

Pain contains

so many strained words.

It enflames your nerves,

then freezes them cold.

Now brittle, they snap

every time you try to grab hold.

The shock as they trickle

like dust through the cracks.

All because your heart combusts,

blazing over misplaced loves.

Grazing only lets them sit,

deep in the pit of your exposed weariness.

 

Teary eyes witness

your sad demise,

not yet realising

that the tears you cry

will in time

wash away the dirt,

Removing the grime

and will bring everything

back with a shine.
