This Is When...

** This is how a broken heart feels to me. Please comment or vote. Thanks **

When you cannot open your eyes
because everything reminds you of him.
Yet you cannot close your eyes,
because the past haunts your soul.

When you cannot move because
your whole body aches and bleeds.
But you cannot stay still or else
you will go insane.

When you cannot breathe
because your heart is dead.
But somehow it still beats,
no matter how bad you want it to stop.

When you cannot smell because
his fragrance is in the air.
It's like even though he is gone,
you remember everything of him.

When you can't even speak
because you'll scream out his name,
And you'll break down and bawl.
You can't bear this pain any longer.

When you cannot hear because
his voice has faded and is finally gone.
All the lies and broken promises,
keep spinning over and over in your mind.

When you cannot feel because
your body is numb.
Your heart is black and blue,
all torn and bruised.

When you cannot think because
your mind is still coping with the loss,
It's out of control, and
you don't know who you are anymore.

When even though he killed you,
you still love him the very same.
And deep inside you know
that you will never move on.

When you have a broken heart,
Nothing else in this world matters.
Besides you can hardly live,
From all of these things.
