Half A Second Hurricane

The pain hits me like a hurricane.
My brain comprehends what my mind most fears.
My chest is tightening.
My eyes are closing.
"So, this is what a broken heart feels like."
I say with a shriek.

I'm losing control of my thoughts.
Everything is becoming a blur.
I try and open my eyes.
But I can't take the pain.
"So, this is what it feels like."
I say with a sigh.

You left me here, but you'll come back.
I won't be here when you do.
I've moved on to better things.
Things that don't include you.
"I'm stronger now than I ever was"
I say with a smile.

You didn't break me,
As much as you tried.
I'm not playing your game anymore.
I'm a whole new person.
"I'm living my own life now."
I say as I walk away for the last time.
