I'm fine. I just feel like I'm shattered into hundred of little shards of glass and I'm going to hurt everybody who loves me.

Do you know what a broken heart feels like? It feels like shattered glass piercing your lungs as you try to hold back the screams and tears of despair. Desperation grips you with old, knowing hands that seem like they will never let go. The memories play in the back of your head like a romantic tragedy. You silently wish to be held in the other person's arms. Your hand still reaches out, wishing to be grasped by another but instead, feels nothing but air. Cold fills every space within you, because to you, there is no sun anymore. You ask the stars questions that will never be answered. You feel like if the only way to remember how to love is to feel miserable you would do it. All you want, all you need is a reason to survive. This is what my broken heart feels like.

This is beautiful! The use of metaphors and figurtive language is phenomenal and deserves multiple applause. I absolutely loved this, although the title seems a bit cliche, and this piece doesnt deserve that kind of ranking. Other than that, brilliant!

Boy, do I know what this feels like. I know exactly what you're talking about in this story. I like your descriptions and your comparisons. To me, they were poetic. Honestly, I think this could have been a poem. You should totally transition it from prose to poetry. Just a suggestion on my part. And sorry that you were heart broken. Hope you feel better.
