Now I know the full force of the pain of a broken heart. I thought I’d been in love before. I cried over several men before, but the hurt passed. You breaking up with me six months ago was devastating. Only through the agony have I realized how deeply I care about you. D.B.

Get a life! Move on!
All the usual advice
That flies over my head.
How CAN I explain?
How can I get through?
Without him beside me.
I’d rather be dead.
To my dreams and desires
He is lost to me now.
And lost he’ll remain;
And the only thing living
Is my sense of real pain.
