What a breakup feels like
The A/C broke
The temperature was 105
I was out driving on a long road when my car broke down
There's no way this would happen
In the middle of nowhere
On the hottest day of the year
To where I have no water or a breeze of air
No shade or source of life
The sun beats down on me hard
I see the setting around me wave like a fire
I was pretty sure I smelt smoke because I was burning
Dripping with boiling sweat I tried to find shade
Nothing helped
It felt like living in hell
Like a fire burning and my body breaking
The air became thick and I couldn’t breathe in
My lungs were collapsing and my body was failing because of lack of water
Miles until I'd come in contact with another person
I was so far gone no one would hear me scream
In pain in my check as my heart took flame
I crumble to the ground in a pool of boiling sweat
Laid on the side of the road
Looked at the sun as it blinded me
And admitted it
This was the pain of a breakup
