Heartbreak is silent.

It creeps up on you 

when you

think you

have it all under control. 

It happens slowly, with a comment here, and a 'joke' there. 

It digs deeply under your skin

crawling its way up your spine

until it bursts it's way out of your mouth. 

This is the only way you know 

how to stop the pain. 

Keep it all at bay.

Whatever you do

don't let the pain

slides its way

inside your heart.

Protect that beating spirit

the way that she would

if she were here. 

'Don't let him break you'

I think. 

It has become my mantra. 

What I live and breath by.

So I fight back with my mind

And use my words as my armour. 

But later,

When I am surrounded by joy that 

Feels like it slides through my grasping fingers

just simply out of reach. 

I know the truth.

My silence tells me what I cannot accept. 

'Don't let him break you'

I think. 

But Heartbreak is silent ...

And I know that he already has.
