Old Heartbreak

an old heartbreak is not a forgotton one
an old heartbreak is not a healed one
an old heartbreak is not easier to talk about
so I get on my knees and beg
becuase that name makes it so hard to breathe
because that name reminds me of that emptiness that was once filled.
because that name brings back so many painful memories of happiness.
No im not over it just becuase it happned a year ago
so please stop before I drown in that name.
please.

    Welcome to YWP Nevbee! I love the anaphora here with "an old heartbreak is not" in the first three lines, then later "because that name." The bits of imagery are nice too--I found the part about drowning in the person's name really powerful. If you wrote this from personal experiences, thank you for sharing it--heartbreak isn't easy to talk about. Again, welcome to the community, and great job! :)
