you know that feeling,

that feeling they call heartbreak

where the pit of your heart feels like it's being pulled down into some dark, dark hole...

so far that you lose your breath and it feels like suffocation,

like your entire body just freezes up and dies..

you squeeze your eyes tight-- try to keep the tears from falling out

and you can't do anything but try to catch your breath and

hope it won't happen again because it just hurts. so. fucking. much.

there's nothing you can do about it;

whatever you tell yourself to try to make you feel better doesn't work.

you're heart knows the truth and you can't convince your heart the

same way that your mind might be tricked.

all you can do is say sorry. over and over.

then wait and just hope this pain will go away.

but it won't, at least not until i can somehow take yours away.

unfortunately, sorry just isn't enough.
