You sob

As your shoulders heave

The tissue has turned into a cotton ball clump

The tears fall off your face

Your eyes

Red, filled with pain- bloodshot

Oh the anguish

All hope is lost.

Ragged breaths

Breathing, in and out

A struggle to hold it in

A single tear falls

Your lips

They tremble- as they try to form words only they can understand

Your face, broken, like a rag doll.

Emotionless.

Your mind

Is numb, you have lost all feeling

You grope

But you do not find what you are looking for

It was never there at all.
