Broken by choice

How do you just let forever walk away? How do you get over a love that deep? How do you pick up the pieces of a heart so broken it's irrepairable?

Do you just one day wake up and not miss him anymore? Or do you spend forever regretting your mistake?

Even a shattered heart still feels love. Even a shattered soul still longs for him.

Empty arms, empty life, empty death.

Hollow.

Broken.

Lost.

Empty.

Alone.

My choice.

My stupidity. What happens when you wake up and realize that what's been missing is him? Do you spend forever trying to forget how much it hurts to not have him?

Does it get easier? Do you ever get up off the floor? Do you ever find the strength to get through the night?

When you walk away from love, do you close your heart off? Or is it better to feel the pain?

A pain so deep it nearly kills you. A pain so sharp it brings you to your knees.

Finding the strength to stand again will be the hardest battle I've ever faced. If I can make it through tonight, then I'll have just a tiny bit more strength to face tomorrow.

Determination is one thing I have in spades. I've never given up. I simply need to remember who I am. It is then that I find my path. I will be ok. I simply have no choice.

I can't let him down.

Sunshine.
