Shhhhh... (Contest Entry)
Love left unspeakable wounds difficult to bandage.
The scars will turn to whispers in time,
but absence will always be the one shouting.

I recall feeling two different phases: the heavy heartache that eventually softens, and then the overwhelming, sharp pain in the gut, which screams when facing the reality of a lost love. This is life...
Thank you!
