WHEN A HEART suffers from heartbreak, it doesn't mean that it literally is shattered, but that did not mean that it doesn't hurt any less.
Because it does. Goodness, it really does.
I never expected that me, me of all people, would experience heartbreak. It wasn't because I was impudent and overly confident of myself or because I was brash for that matter— oh no. Quite the opposite actually.
I wished that was the case though, anything other than this pathetic girl that I am, always always degrading myself.
I was certain that I wouldn't experience the emotional pain everyone seems au fait with because I didn't think that anyone would be oblivious and stupid enough to fall in love with me— the lowest of the nobodies.
But then he came, sweet caring Caden who broke down my walls and drew me out of my shell. Caden, who unexpectedly loved me and went beyond all reason I could fathom. Well, at least I think he did before all went wrong and he betrayed me, broke my trust and did the thing that I didn't expect anyone to do: he broke my stupid, pathetic, naive heart.
He was the person who saved me from myself and my insecurities. The boy who made me achieve things I had never before; feats that I would never, in a million years, have done myself even if the world had turned upside down.
The idea itself seemed absurd: that someone loved me for who I am and just as I was grasping that fact, turns out that he didn't.
I should have known better than to trust him when I knew from the very beginning that nobody would love and want me that way.
All these should have's and what if's, the typical notions of a brokenhearted girl.
Like me.
The worst part though is that I was left even more timorous and undone than when he came along. I saw myself as even more pitiful than I already was. My hatred for myself ran deeper than it already does. My insecurities cut boundlessly into my skin, swam abysmally throughout my blood, impaling endlessly into my bones and latched into my very self that I fear that the scars I'd done to myself would be timeless and would soon be the death of me.
