B R O K E N H E A R T S



I clutch at my heart, unsure as to why it is pounding so hard or why I am so angry. No, I have to calm down. No one is worth this kind of agonizing pain. I thought I had closed myself off to that kind of closeness long ago. “Fine,” I whisper to her retreating back. “I didn’t need you anyways.” I turn my back on her and her callous ways. The wind rustles my clothes slightly and a flock of pigeons takes flight in front of me. I pass through them, not caring about anything.

I had closed myself off long ago…. Back in grade school… I am slipping. I care about nobody and nobody gives a damn about me. I like it that way. I prefer it that way. You don’t get hurt if you don’t let anybody get close.

But why, then, does my heart hurt so? Because I had thought maybe…. I give a short laugh. I am a fool.

I walk away from friends made… relationships formed. Who needs them? I want to leave this place anyways. Attachments just make it harder to leave.

I have to steel my heart from the love that friends have.

But it’s so hard… Even though, I know that everyone will hurt me eventually, I cannot just end it…. Not like that. I am not that heartless.

Tears stream down my face and I angrily brush them away. Anything that lives can be broken… that includes my heart. The only escape from pain is death, but I am no coward. I will not take that route.

Arms encircle me suddenly and a gentle finger brushes away a stray tear.

“Such things do not belong on such a pretty face,” a deep male voice says. I look up into the eyes of a man whom I do not know. Someone else to rip my heart to shreds. I pull away, but I cannot bring myself to go further.

He smiles and hands me a small flower before disappearing into a crowd of people. I watch him go, stunned, and then look down at the flower: a morning glory.

In spite of myself, I smile. Maybe a broken heart every now and again is no bad thing.
