Heartbreak is surprisingly bloodless most of the time... Your soul is on fire (the wrong kind), but the tears only cool your face, It doesn't even matter who did what to who--we all end up feeling like the betrayer & betrayed--treason between lovers, treason against ourselves when we think of who we were just a short time agoe.e. Like moving on is abandoning our post, a version of ourself dutifully waiting for relief that will not come because that other person is simply goneeee Permission is something you must give to yourself... So I'm asking you to ask yourself, to let yourself see things differently, allow your heart to beat for you, now, breathe out the hurting flames within yourselfeee
