With tears rolling down my cheeks in the freezing cold, I saw you kiss her. I keep seeing a flashback and feel the dreams of a life with the only man I ever loved exploding over and over within. It’s like a continuous re-run of a tragic love story from a terrible movie. L.M.
Perhaps this is what the stories meant
when they called somebody heartsick.
Your heart and your stomach
and your whole insides
feel empty and hollow and aching.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I’m not upset, hurt, or angry anymore. I’m tired of putting in more effort than I receive. I’m tired of holding on for nothing. I’m tired of believing your lies. I’m tired of you proving me wrong every time. I’m tired of getting my hopes up & being disappointed again. K.D.
Do you know that you hurt me?
Do you even care?
All the things you told me,
Feel like lies and so unfair.
But now I have to realize you’re gone,
And I can’t drive myself insane.
I’ll just have to pick up the pieces,
Of my heart that remain.

Never will I forget driving when you got so angry over almost nothing and ruined everything. You said horrible things, then threw your engagement ring out my car window. We stopped but did not find it. Your tears and sorry’s could not repair what damage you had done. R.B.
Paint a perfect smile,
Straight onto my face,
Wash it off good,
Don’t leave any trace,
Of our happy times,
The days we shared
Back when we cared.
