it is
kind
of like
a weight
that seems
to drop heavy
on your heart until
you feel like you are
buried under it. it starts
out slowly- you're just a little
more miserable than you usually
are, you cry a little harder than normal...
and then suddenly everything seems to be a lot
worse than it was yesterday, so much less livable
than it was a year ago... and you wonder how the
hell anyone could have truly loved you after all,
and maybe they were lying about their feelings
for you- how could they love you, you're
so worthless. and it just seems like it
will never get any better, and you
think briefly of death, and
you weep

 ~~and then you sleep, head on a tear soaked pillow, praying tomorrow will seem a little better~~
