The Stages of Heartbreak

Location

  1. you ripped cupid's arrow clean out of my heart.
  2. i'm still bleeding.
  3. you infected my wounds with words like "hopeless romantic" which i took for "i never felt the same" and "our love was a lie".
  4. you erased the future i had drawn leaving it blank,
  5. i guess that's what you get for writing in chalk.
  6. time heals all wounds, but what if they're still open?
  7. i still dream about you
  8. i feel pathetic
  9. i am pathetic
  10. i'm sorry

This is pretty heart wrenching. The numbers are perfect and help convey the desperation of the words.

Great analogy. Love is life. This is as real as you can get. Everyday-life, but not EVERY day.

I feel the same way
