I lay in the grass for hours.

I couldn't think.

I couldn't move.

I knew this would happen.

But I had been so close.

After sitting, paralyzed in the grass, I dragged myself to my car, my mind blank, my head heavy.

I cried the whole drive home.

A sinking feeling had settled into my chest, making me feel heavy and eventually it tore a whole in my damaged teenage heart.

Why, Connor?

I was silent as I crept into my bedroom.

I felt as if my world had broken up into a million pieces, leaving me straddled between bits,giving me no grip or something to hold tight to.

My starts were falling.

I felt lost.

The sadness was almost unbearable.

I climbed into bed but lord knows I wouldn't sleep.

Goodnight, broken world.

Goodnight, fallen stars.

Goodnight, sinking feeling.

Goodnight, boy who broke my heart.
