It is eerily terrifying that there is no sound

when a heart breaks.

Car accidents end with a bang,

falling ends with a thud,

even writing makes

the scratching sound

of pencil against paper.

But the sound of a heart breaking

is completely silent.

Almost as though no one,

not even the universe itself

could create a sound

for such devastation.

Almost as though

silence is the only way

the universe could pay its respect

to the sound of a heart falling apart.
