"Can You Feel My Heart Break?"

With the intensity of a fading star, my heart begins to diminish.
A rushing wave of nausea, pain, and anguish envelope my very being.
Something so beautiful and whole, withers and retracts as the pain of unfullfilled love stabs deep.
The core of my being rots and is devoured. Can you feel this pain?
How can something that is not tangible, that is not real, have such an effect on me?
An idea, a thought, and yet, my body aches.
Do you know the hurt of which I speak?
It sits in the depth of your heart and like you were dying.
It bleeds out of your chest.
The rolling thunder, the crashing waves, the bursting volcanos,
They cannot compare to what I feel inside.
If I were to curl in a ball and scream, I might explode.
My screams echo forth nothing.
They fall on lifeless, deaf ears.
I'm bound in my sorrow.
I'm bound in my pain.
Let me fall into the depths.
Let me feel no more.
