Simple Heartbreak

as shattered glass,
the inward depths
burst,
cracking and falling
to a thousand pieces.
an instant moment,
a blink of an eye,
blurred out and stretched
out between a thousand
millennia.
like a massive storm,
forms with simple thunders
and a few drops of rain.
needing to run it's course
with the knowledge
it will someday be over.
pain.
a simple word,
a simple feeling
with a catastrophic
outcome.
inescapable,
a prison and
a builder of character.
I cry myself to sleep
after losing you but I know
one day you'll fade and be just another
face in the crowd,
I just have to choose to live through
this day and make it to
the next.
