Brokenhearted

How can I Survive being Brokenhearted?

How can I go forth,
When you did nearly Die?
You worry me at the best of times;
And now I don't even know where you are?

My Souls not linked to yours,
And yet my Heart is...
If you Die I will go on;
But if it was my fault I'll never myself forgive...

I'm frozen with great angst,
Not as though I'm a sentimental fool...
But what was the point in even caring about you;
If I cease to care at all?

And that is even supposing,
I can switch my emotions on and off...
Which; doubtless if I managed to do;
I'd end up bawling in the Gutter if something went wrong...

Which I've been there anyway,
So what difference does that make?
But I wiped away the tears and grew a thicker skin;
And hated the lack of my self-control...

The light entering into my eyes,
Makes my emotions less volatile...
But even if I had a thousand Suns;
That isn't what makes me cry...

I know what it is to lose someone,
Some precious special everything...
But I cannot stand the thought of it happening all over again;
And so I beat my Chest like Tarzan...

There's plenty more Fish in the Sea,
Fish that is not you and me...
This is gonna hurt, get right down to the truth;
Losing loved-ones kills like flames on skin...

I iz proper Brokenhearted.
So many names. So little comfort.
