My heart breaks.

Not figuratively. At least it doesn’t feel like that. It feels physical. Like my heart is actually cracked open, filling me with blood.

Not poetic, like how people describe it in movies.

It’s loud in my head. It shatters, devastating and brutal. I can feel it tear open in my chest, like something vital inside me just split apart. Like I’m losing a part of myself all over again.
