thoughts of heartbreak
Heartbreak is the heartbeat moments
Smiles fading into frowns
When happy turns to sad
In remembrance of a memory
The longing to return
The sagging of your chest
One minute, laughter
The next, somber
Memories of what has been, what cannot be
The hollow end to a laugh
Brows creased, hands tense
eyes downcast
Silence
The choking up of your chest
Holding back tears
all your losses
Every little failure
Regrets sinking in
memories of the way his hands felt upon your skin
The way he held you when you cried, his patience
The love you felt
dissipated
forever
