Trying To Sleep With A Broken Heart Novels & Stories

Afraid of giving myself away, I retreated to the bedroom. Late that night, while Sarah and Ethan slept soundly, I laid in bed, unable to sleep. As I reflected on the years Sarah and I spent together, it was hard to believe that it was all a lie. Throughout our time together, she never complained about my late nights at work or countless unavoidable business dinners. Whenever I felt like giving up, I would think about how understanding she was and use that as motivation to work harder, feeling indebted to her.

Sophia definitely knew about my allergy, and an embarrassed expression flashed across her face. She reached out to help me, but I brushed her hand away. Once I returned home, I began running a high fever. Since I remained cold and distant, Sophia seemed to harbor resentment as well. After I took my medicine, just as I was drifting into sleep, Adrian knocked on our door. "Soph, I'm having trouble sleeping..." In my hazy state, I felt Sophia get up beside me. A little while later, I heard her soft voice sing in the guest room.

In the night's silence, behind my closed eyelids, so many scenarios play out in which I don’t find myself dead inside. The endless possibilities prevent me from getting any of the sleep that I hope for. Lack of sleep further perpetuates my discomfort at the appointment. Everything’s worse when I’m exhausted. And, believe me, I don’t need it to be any worse than it already is. Compounding the hurt further breaks my heart. Before that fateful night, I thought heartbreak could only come from a break up. I thought that all heartbreak was the same. I didn’t realize that sometimes, the heart continues to crack and fracture, little pieces falling away with each passing day.

He tried to cheer me up but I was long broken. The pieces of my heart lay on the bed with Ivy, with no hope of getting fixed.

The pain in my voice echoed through the night, a haunting reminder of my shattered dreams and broken heart. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks—our bond was irreparably broken, and no amount of wishing or hoping could change that. As I howled in pain, another howl joined mine, sounding as painful and heartbreaking as my own. Maybe someone else out there was feeling the same heartache as me—a connection in our shared suffering.

I whispered, staring down at my lap. I hated hearing myself sound like that girl. The broken-hearted one. But maybe I already was. I never sat with my heartbreak, never let myself feel the crack. I just threw myself into Corian’s bed like it could glue me back together. But my heart? Still in pieces. I built a dream around that man. A dream that crumbled.

I can't even tell you how important it is. Until now I am still longing for you, for you, for your love. love. Love. Suddenly tears welled up in my eyes, now I have just experienced something like this! I can't help but be amazed because of the beauty of his voice. I just heard him sing! Is what is happening to me true? Can't I be dreaming? I secretly pinched my hand but I felt pain caused by pinching myself. I was not aware that my tears were flowing. James handed Zack a bouquet of chocolates and a big teddy bear which is now being handed to me by the man I love. I have no doubt accepted it, I can't move where I am now because I can't I can explain how sorry I feel.

And here I am, still with a broken heart. It feels like I can’t breathe. I need to get some air.
