shattered heart

to a dear friend whose heart took a blow.

You quietly said that it doesn’t matter now.
In truth, your heart is screaming that everything still matters.
You muttered that it doesn’t hurt anymore.
In fact, it hurt so much that you have become numb to the pain.
You maintained that you will forget about her soon.
In reality, you can’t even bear to think about her.
You claimed that you won’t lay another tear for her.
In actuality, you cried so much you are bereft of tears.

It hurts because you loved her.
But take this as the start of something greater.
Not the end to everything great.
