Beyond the Broken

I stood there, frozen, as his words echoed through the air, each one a dagger plunging deep into my heart, "You're too insecure," he said, his voice devoid of the warmth it once held. "You overthink everything, and you don't trust me."

The world around me blurred as tears welled up in my eyes. I could barely comprehend what was happening. This was the man I loved with every fiber of my being, the one who was my everything. How could he say these things?

With each step he took away from me, the air grew thinner, constricting around my lungs, stealing my breath. I stood there, paralyzed, drowning in the wreckage of his departure. His silhouette faded into the distance, a painful reminder of the trust he had dismantled with his indifference.
