A Man's Heartbreak

He sits there on a park bench.

Did this really just happen?

It's amazing how your life can change so fast.

How do I feel?

A question, not always easy to answer,

Burning in his mind, wanting to be answered.

No, I'm not. I loved her.

A revelation, finally realizing it.

She walked away from him.

She left him there,

To writhe in the pain she caused.

He is broken inside, crushed.

He needs to talk, he needs closure.

But he gets up, puts on a mask.

Walks away from the remains of his heart,

And acts like nothing is wrong, that he is fine,

Even though he's not.
