What is this, sludging through my veins, pushing the blood to my heart and refusing to let it recede? What is this, pressure crumbled in my stomach, like a despised love letter, compacted just enough for my throat to tighten? What is this, a dull hum in my brain, almost like a scratched record, the needle scraping across the imperfect plastic, full and faint, but pestering my skull at the same time? What is this? Is this the loss of love?
