The Day You Broke My Heart, and Everything Else

Just anothrer boring day staring into the woods at the park. I hear a noise. I turn to see you come walking towards me, an easy smile spread across my face. I loved you so much. I hadn't seen you in months, and now you are finally home. And you're all mine. I start running towards you. As fast as i can go, but something made me stop. It was the look on your face.

You look like you confused, and sad. I don't understand. He hasn't seen me in months, shouldn't he be happy to see me. I stopped right where I stood at that moment. I got those nervous little butterflies in my stomach, the ones that told me something was wrong. I decide not go any farther.

"Ashley?" He said, and my face drained of all its color and life.

"Yes?" I replied in a cool even tone. Maybe I was just overreacting, maybe something happened before he got here and he wanted me to help cheer him up like always do.

he just stared at the ground for a few minutes, refusing to meet my eyes. Then he said "Didn't anyone tell you?" And my heart stopped beating.

"Tell me what?" I asked in frightened voice.

"Ashley, I'm getting married." He said in an easy tone. As if nothing was wrong. As if he never loved me or promised me anything

I got these nervous butterflies in my stomach at the tone of your voice

I'd only heard this tone once before

The color drianed from my face

I stopped moving

"What's wrong" I asked in a lifeless tone

You looked down at the grund

Refusing to look into my eyes

It must be the tears he had started to see there

I held them back and put on the bravest face I could

Just tell me I told him in an almost defeated tone

"No one told you?" he asked

"Told me what?" I said this time actually confused

"I'm getting married Ashley." he said

This time he looked into my eyes

I was sure shock was there

I wanted a good comeback but I couldn't think of one

"Oh..." was all I could manage

"I want your blessing" he said

I stared at him with hurt

Then I looked down at the ground and composed myself

"I'm happy for you." I said andthe tears slid down my pale cheeks

I couldn't take it anymore he had crushed me

"I can't believe this." i said and I started running away from him

I ran through the woods next to us

I wouldn't stop for anything

I ran for a couple minutes then started sobbing

How could my true love have done this to me?

How could he just break my heart?

Then I fell

I broke my leg, I knew from the snap

I was a little ways in and didn't car if anyone found me or not

without him my life was over.

I didn't care anymore.

I was prepared to lie there forever, not caring what happened to me.

This was the day you broke my heart, my dreams, and everytihng else.

The pain and anguish seeps from the words. The tale reads like a train that starts slow and then picks up pace until the end crashes in upon the readers mind.
The last three lines are a bit confusing though...But the meaning was clear.
