Teen Agony

A swift look at pop culture, and it's grasp of agony.

It's been 15 days

since he broke her heart.

Oh agony, agony

tears her apart.

 

She stares at the clock,

each minute she feels,

as she holds in her hand

a box full of pills.

 

It's been quite a while

since he broke her heart,

yet agony, agony -

such a cruel art.

 

The hands on the clock

seem to slap at her face.

She feels only sorrow,

shame and disgrace.

 

Eternity passed

since he broke her heart,

and agony, agony

just won't depart.

 

She won't open the box,

she'll just dwell in her pain

and in 15 more days

she'll just do it again.

"The hands on the clock

That's what I'm talking about, I love the way your work can shrink a lifetime in to half a page and I can feel that life, YOU make me feel that life, not only can I feel her pain but I can also feel the intensity of the love affair before he broke her heart,
What this tells me is that time does not heal, but with time you learn how to live with your pain, if it's intense enough it sort of becomes a part of you,
But what do I know?

Lovely description of lost love and the slow passage of time as it relates to healing the wounds. I can almost feel the "agony" of her loss. Well done!
