Work in progress. Doesn't have a definite summary. --- "Day 5. By now everyone has noticed the light has been stolen from my eyes and wonder in murmurs, whispers behind my back. I am too numb to care about the stories they invent which are so far from the reality of losing you that has affected me even more that I believed it could. I keep thinking I am healed but when night descends upon me I am reminded of the empty hole in my heart that continues to bleed. I needed you to stop it and instead you opened a wound that I fear will never be healed. I still can’t believe you were strong enough to break me and I hate you but I hate myself more for trusting you and your beautiful lies." Your horrible lies, I think as I put down the pen. I don't know why I'm even doing this. I guess I just want it down to remember never to return to you? As if you'll want me back. You made it clear the day you said you were leaving me that you wanted to, as you put it, get on with your life. I sometimes wonder whether I should have gone after you and insisted and kissed you in the downpour. But I think I'm glad I didn't. I would have made a fool of myself. --- Every collection of "Days" constitutes a chapter. Chapter sizes can vary greatly. There is no definite day for uploads but I will try to post a chapter at least once a week. Some days I might post more than once. Thank you so much for reading! Please, please please leave comments, suggestions, anything! Your opinions can help me with the rest of the story. I've written it in a very flexible format so I can take suggestions of any kind! :)

I wrote this because I needed to survive it. Because there are some feelings too big for silence. Some heartbreaks too heavy to carry alone. This isn't fiction. This is my heart, broken open and rearranged into verse. "I saw you standing where the sidewalk curves, and suddenly my chest knew different words." - That's how it started. A glance. A stranger. A feeling I couldn't ignore. "You said we needed to talk. Those five words, I knew. I already knew." - And that's how it ended. Not with fire. With silence. I won't tell you that time heals all wounds. I won't say everything happens for a reason. I won't pretend heartbreak makes you stronger. But I will show you that: You can survive what you think will destroy you. You can break and still become beautiful. You can love someone and lose them and still be whole. You can be your own happy ending. I wrote these poems with tears on my face. I wrote them on good days when I forgot to hurt. Every word is something I actually felt. Every line is a moment I actually lived. "You are not broken. You are breaking open. And that's where the light gets in." - That's what this taught me. That's what I hope it gives you, the comfort of knowing you're not alone.
