Hard to do haiku

Last month my boyfriend of 8 years broke off our relationship. We have been dating since our sophomore year of high school, and I thought we would get engaged this year.  I am so stunned and heartbroken, I can barely get myself out of bed and to work everyday without breaking down in tears.  My friends keep bugging me to  get back out there, and start dating- but the idea of it makes me sick. Should I force myself to go out on a bunch of doomed dates, or is it okay to hole up in my apartment eating ice cream and watching Gossip Girl? 

Signed,

Devastated in the outer sunset

Dear Devastated:

For your heavy heart

take the time you need to heal

tell friends to back off
