Unmapped Dive.
<p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I always thought that heartbreak was a word</p><p>Exaggerated, a drama for the weak.</p><p>I’d tell myself, Just move on with your life,</p><p>Until I learned the language of the meek.</p><p>Then I got to experience love,</p><p>Fell deep, a reckless, unmapped dive,</p><p>And watched the man I knew begin to change,</p><p>Leaving me nowhere to survive.</p><p><br/></p><p>I begged day and night, a desperate plea,</p><p>I cried day and night, a flood I couldn't stem.</p><p>My hands, they shook, a tremor I couldn't still,</p><p>Texting him through the tears that blurred the gem</p><p>Of my phone screen, heavy, pouring down.</p><p>And then the message came, a cold, flat line,</p><p>He hit me with the truth, cruel and concise:</p><p>I’m a disturbance. Not yours, but mine.</p><p><br/></p><p>I froze. The tears did not stop, but the world</p><p>Did. Something hit me, deep and hard and true,</p><p>So deep I almost dropped the phone, the glass</p><p>A mirror to the pain I never knew.</p><p>The pain was excruciating, a fire</p><p>That goes all the way to your aching chest.</p><p>The more I tried to breathe, the more it felt</p><p>Like a thousand knives were put to the test.</p><p><br/></p><p>They twist and turn to stop the air from moving,</p><p>A physical, relentless, cruel blockade.</p><p>I’m not exaggerating; it truly hurt,</p><p>Physically, mentally, and soul-betrayed.</p><p>I try to cry, but something’s in my throat,</p><p>A lump of sorrow, solid, hard, and stuck.</p><p>Why, oh God? I whisper to the dark.</p><p>Take it away, for I have run out of luck.</p><p><br/></p><p>I tried to let go, I swear I did,</p><p>But still my fingers found his name again.</p><p>I still found myself loving him much more,</p><p>A love that thrives on self-inflicted pain.</p><p>He has hurt me countless times, a steady beat,</p><p>But why can’t I just sever this last thread?</p><p>I’m trying, I swear. I’m trying to be free.</p><p>But the heart is a fool that won't admit it's dead…..</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
