Like the firing of a gun,
straight into your chest,
heartbreak
can feel like the end,
of everything.
You know that it’s not,
not really.
You know all the quotes;
‘Life goes on’,
‘There’s plenty more fish’,
etc etc,
but still,
to give yourself
to another person,
only for them to leave you
broken,
half of you gone
with them,
is a different type of pain.
It’s visceral,
all consuming.
But,
it’s also somewhat
reaffirming,
a reminder that;
only you,
the person whom you refer to as ‘I’,
will be with you
forever.
Empowering,
use this as a ‘push’
to;
treat yourself with greater kindness,
live your life for you,
on your terms,
not on somebody else’s.
And,
use it as you:
turn your pain into strength,
let your heartache make you whole,
and,
let this be a powerful reminder to:
love yourself first,
always.
