This is how a heart breaks

You know that feeling you get the exact moment your heart breaks? The feeling of total an utter emptiness. It’s like someone’s flushed out every emotion you have, leaving you completely void.

And then, as you’re trying to figure out what this is, what just happened (even though you know so well), it hits you. That crushing blow. The one that smothers your heart into itsy bitsy pieces, scattering them on the wind so you’re convinced you’ll never find them again and that your heart will remain broken forever.

The realisation that the one person who you’re convinced could make you happy, the one person out of all the people you know who you actually see yourself with. The realisation that this person will never make you happy. He has no interest in making you happy. He never did. He never will.

This is how a heart breaks.
