Description
She appeared,a schoolgirl wreathed in youth and
radiating acceptance.
She loved what you loved, and you worked up the nerve
to speak to her, hoping that
Maybe
she wouldn't laugh and dismiss you
like an unwanted thought.
Your hopes were met, and friendship
grew into something
so much more.
You grew to be one,
envied by some, hated by others
as most
couples
are.
You started a
life
together, and things were
perfect
But perfection doesn't last around you.
You screwed it up.
Broke trust,
Broke a heart,
lost your love.
You lost yourself.
Running away didn't help as much as you thought
it might.
But the days got easier.
Your breaths came lighter.
Her voice left your head, and
her name no longer caught in your throat,
where you choked on it until
tears
came to your eyes.
You were over her.
Until night came,
when you crept into your bed and
rolled
over
hopelessly aware of the emptiness
beside you
as music filled the same space it always
had
and
you stared at the words,
hoping they could
pull her back,
if only for that
night.
