That exact moment

That feeling
That exact moment you feel it deep inside.
You try, try so hard.
Try so hard to hide.
You can't,
You just can't tuck it deep enough.
Yet you try,
Each second getting a little more rough.
That unwanted feeling of emptiness.
The one that creeps up on you.
You can't shak it.
No matter what you try or do.
That moment you can feel a bond being ripped apart.
You don't have to speak.
It over takes your heart.
That moment when the light slowly turns to dark
You struggling with the fire.
You just can't get a spark.
That moment when you know you have been betrayed.
All your hopes and dreams are suddenly delayed.
It's that moment when your life falls apart.
It's that moment you actually hear the shattering of a heart.
