Heartbreak Poem by Emma Sinclair

Shock rocks through me like shattered ice
It hasn't sank in yet
My throat is beating with my heart
The pain pulsing from my chest through my body
While feeling nothing at all
This can't be happening, it's not real
A nightmare that won't wake me
Knives get thrown from both directions
All fly like a boomerang repeatedly hitting as they all fly back
Cheeks turn warm as the body shakes
Violent sobs tumble out as complete control is lost
I feel alive and dead inside all at once
As the reality hits me
Warm fur touches my skin and I feel it purr, the dogs tongue touches my face willing the sadness gone
I'm all alone but not alone and my mind is about to explode
The only escape is in the blade as shame now washes in
This was my first heartbreak, let the casualties begin.
