Heartbreak

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes 

Did you hear 
it 
 
The sound was 
deafening

An intense roar 
in my ears

The reverberation 
rattled my bones

And thundered through 
my soul 

Your ego muffled
the sound

But 

I heard it loud 
and clear
 
The sound of 
my heartbreak

  3. Narcissism/ego can do that. Muffle the sounds of other voices beyond their own and then break hearts. What a powerful poem for survivors to understand that they are not alone, that they were manipulated. That’s how I interpret this particular poem.
