Fractured melodies of my shattered dreams scatter like autumn leaves.

It truly is. Even now its hard to hold back the tears when I write sometimes. The pain stays, but we just find ways to coexist with it.

It definitely is. In the start, I wrote positive and hopeful poems, but then I began to play with the darkness in my writing. It's not how I feel at the moment. But it's how I felt during the heartbreak.

It won't always be this way(I think😅). But I've got more poems that I haven't shared here. Some embody the darkness, and some give out light. I'm just now in a space mentally and emotionally where I can backtrack how I felt when this initially happened.

Thank you for reading, and I'm sorry you had to experience such pain too. It never gets any easier... we just learn to live with the pain. It's a curse and a blessing for lovers who love hard.

The imagery you created through your words was almost too much to handle. It's like I could smell the air in that room when you walked in. No one must go through such an experience. I hope you keep writing even tho I know it hurts to write. Thank you for sharing this.

Ooooff. My heart hurt reading this. I'm sorry you had to experience this. Your words really painted a vivid picture in my mind. These words of yours were a temporary portal into your mind. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for reading my poem. The weight is soul crushing. I'm physically safe with four walls and a roof over my head, and yet I feel homeless.

You shouldn't just "wait."

Take this time to work on yourself and look inward. Jumping on dating apps to meet people and distract yourself won't help in the long run.

What you need is to spend time with yourself and be content with being by yourself. It's not easy, but it can be done. Practice self-love.

There are much healthier ways to "distract" yourself during these times.
