Can You Hear My Broken Heart?

I don’t want to listen to it.

Sometimes, I wonder whether I am being dramatic, or it just hurts, still, even though many years have passed. I always call myself dramatic because I am emotional at times, and it is often because of the past.

But dramatic people create drama to get attention. I cry over past hurts when I am alone — when the only thing I can hear is the cracking sound of my heart. How could I be dramatic if I do it when no one’s looking?

Maybe I should come to terms with the fact that it still hurts after all this time, and that denying it doesn’t make it gone.
