heartbreak is an odd kind of pain,
because you are not dying.
you are not even sick.
for all intents and purposes you are perfectly fine,
yet inside where your heart used to be,
you hurt so much that you can't breathe
you can't sleep,
and you can't stop the tears from falling.
you may eat too much,
you may not eat at all,
non-smokers light up,
non-drinkers find a bar.
a broken heart is the world's greatest equalizer,
because it can bring even the strongest man to his knees...
it happens to the best of us...
