I felt expanded by the tremors spreading throughout my body, wobbling back and forth, yet unable to move. My hands came up to my chest, rubbing fiercely, to soothe the unbearable pain.
Like a sword jabbing deep inside, tearing past my muscles, ramming right into my chest, in my heart shredding it apart in two, twisting, digging, ripping The massive hole bleeding out the trust it harboured, the faith it treasured, My mouth clasped shat tight, to hold the breath that was struggling to escape, afraid it was my last breath, I held it inside. Letting it mix with the bile rushing up my throat.
