Sounds of Heartbreak

What does it sound like when a heartbreaks?

Is it a shattering sound that pierces ones ears causing them to bleed

Does it sound like a gun shot that puts a hole in anything it rips through?

What does it sound like when a heartbreaks

Is it the shrill scream of the voice that told you this was gonna happen anyway

And that you should’ve ran as hard and fast as you could away.

Or maybe it’s the echo of tears hitting the bathroom floor

It’s the short weezing breath that comes from crying in your sleep.

It could be the snap of a lock on the bedroom that keeps the world from examining and judging the aftermath of a lovers decision.

It’s the footsteps that sound off as one runs for the lecture door to excuse themselves.

The sound of choking back tears, the back of hands frantically rubbing away tears  before anyone can see..

The sound of the phone constantly ringing and it never being the one you really wanna talk to

The voice of everyone around you telling you to get over it and your own voice leaving your mouth as you gaze in the mirror broken, asking how.

It’s your own sobbing that wakes you

It’s the sound of constant prayer

The sound of thin pages of the bible turning as you look for the remedy and reason within

What does it sound like when a heartbreaks?

Pain
