The First Heartbreak

A recollection of heartbreaks

The first time I had a heartbreak 
I called quits on me 
It wasn't just my mind that I shut off 
No! It was my sweetness that I ripped out
My personality that reflected ruined taverns
And my heart? I let it scream until it could speak no more
And my soul? I let it bleed to the last drop
Then I looked in the mirror 
And my insides cringed 
Stumbling backward I let the mask fall 
The monster subsided and the innocent came out 
My soul awakened, my heart restored
My mind came online and my personality soared
Touching the outline, I made an oath 
Never would I ever let anyone lose my own 
Head held high I broke out of my own shackles 
Painting the darkness with my own recipe of colors

I like this because I am going such a horrendous time personally at the moment. My very first relationship has ended after two years. He was my best friend, and basically the only person I could truly trust, and now he is gone and I am struggling so much. But I really adore this poem because it's positive, though mentions the darkness one goes through after their first heartbreak. I'm patiently waiting for my happiness to come back, and I know it will one day.
