Heartbroken

The girl sat up at night
a mountain of tissues by her side 
trying to wipe away the memory of him
All the happy memories
going through her head
"What did i do wrong?"
She yelled
A mixture of anger
and sadness
came together
"I will never love again"
She thought
Something was building up
inside of her

The earthquake inside of her
had split her heart in half
She now understood
the true meaning of heartbreak
She thought, as the clear capsules
holding all of her emotion
dropped from her eyes
She remembered what he last said to her
"It is better to have loved and lost
than never have loved at all
-Alfred Lord Tennyson"
She wiped away her tears 
as she said
"Tennyson was an idiot"

The girl's heart was shattered
into countless pieces
After all she had been through
she couldn't help but think about
what might have been
It was then she realized 
She still loved him

She stared blankly at the wall
able to feel nothing...
Numb
The memories went through her head
replaying over and over again
Like a song
eternally on repeat

Suddenly anger
nothing but anger ran through her
She grabbed at what ever was close 
and threw it at the wall
She picked up what she had thrown
It was a picture of the boy
She sunk to her knees 
and cried

The night was a lonely time
No one was there to comfort her
as she cried softly into the pillow
Darkness filled the room
and her heart
The doors of her heart
had now been locked and chained
With the key thrown away
And the candles of light
blown out
So nobody could find a way

She sang herself a lullaby to go to sleep
A slow,sweet song
to numb the pain
and the feeling of loneliness
She twisted and turned
For the pain was too great in her heart
She ran the happy memories through her mind
once more
"How will I live?"
"How will I survive?"
She said 
As she drifted to sleep
