I am judging for the contest :D
This was really true, I guess. Most people must have been through a relationship that ended like this and could really relate to it. The bit about the questions at the end was amazing - I think that bit is the bit that best describes what it's like.
I'm probably wrong here but...was this done in a kind of pattern? The first bit and the last bit were kind of the same. Like, there was a short line and then a longer line and then it went into the middle bit and then there was a longer line and a short line. If that made any sense. :L
I had to read this slow because the lines didn't flow at all to me. I think it would've been better if you'd replaced 'they' with he or she, and maybe even 'you' with I. I just don't think the second-person thing worked that well. I also think the lines would be better if they were longer too.
I like the last line - Only time will tell. It finished it really well and I don't think many other lines would've worked as well. I also love the words you used and this line was my favourite: Inside, you feel your heart begin to crack.
I think the title could use some work but that might just be because I think long titles rarely work. This was a pretty good drabble; maybe if you edited it, it would be even better. The thing I think that most needs work is the flow, other than that, this is pretty good.
"The pounding of your heart echoes throughout your world, the rhythmic beat of fear becomes your soundtrack." Definitely my favorite line. I love metaphors, and I love how poetic and deep, almost depressing, this one was.
Kudos to you. It's pretty good. :D
