New Heartbreak. Same Pit.

This love taught me heartbreak in the realist sense. It’s not that I lost you or even wronged you, It’s that the circumstance we fell upon Gives me that pit in my stomach. The kind of pit that grows relentlessly, The kind of pit that sticks around. And the worst part of all of it, …
