Heartbroken
The weight of sorrow
Released through a sighA deep inhale
In an attempt not to cry
Held to take pause
Held to find grounding
On the edge of the abyss
Full of fear and astounding
Inconceivable, indigestible
All reason is lost
Questions unanswered
Vulnerability at cost
With meaning unfound
Words dissolve into scatter
To flow as a sigh
Into unspoken dark matter
About the Author

Now dedicated to personal development and reflective expression, I believe that while we don't always choose our opening lines, we always hold the pen for the chapters that follow.
