Avoiding rom-coms like the plague. Throwing up and eating on a constant, self-loathing loop. Images of happiness, her happiness, going round and round.

An unwelcome jealousy, forcing you through slideshow after slideshow of the perfect man, showing her the attention she once craved from me.

Shaking, warm or cold, it made no difference. Hopelessness is around every corner because around every corner, I am alone now.

Google becomes Dr.Love, the search engine dedicated to the quest of winning her back. Facebook is visited frequently, torturing my eyes with her beauty. This feeling can't be explained, suffering in silence.

    You've captured that feeling brilliantly. We've all been there, suffering in silence; torturing ourselves by watching our former love's new life play out over social media, looking for a crack in their new veneer of happiness that we can exploit to our own advantage. Great drabble, Ricky.
