A hole in my chest

After I finished reading the message I was stunned. Everything around me dissapeared as I looked down at those little black letters, each word a stab at the heart until the pain was so much that I didn't feel it anymore. I felt nothing.

That's when it surfaced. That beast I keep caged up inside myself - Anger...

Through my rage I sent a reply, short meaningful words. It was the most honest thing I've said so far, something that even I had admitted to myself even though I hated it. In return I receive another that stung even more then before. Even the beast cowered away back into its cage. Fear, doubt, they all came back. I wanted to cry but for some reason I couldn't. Maybe I ran out of tears...
