This is the text I could never send to you

This is what heartbreak looks like. 

It is the soliloquies you wrote to him at midnight while crying 

It is the formality, a smile, and the absence of warmth 

It is the nausea and the vomit because this mornings breakfast just didn't have the heart to stay with you 

He didn't either

This is what heartbreak sounds like. 

Silence
Breaking
Static

This is what heartbreak feels like. 

The burn of your concerned friends eyes into your back 

The burn of the shame tinging your cheeks red 

This is what heartbreak is. 

You 
Me
But not us

Never us
