Tattoo
There was a moment of silence, like the moment an atomic bomb hits the surface of the earth. You don't see it but you feel it as your body is blasted in the unbearable heat. It is a heat that melts away your flesh and bones, and leaves you with the wish to die but you are still breathing.
That was what happened. The moment when you said that you no longer loved me, the moment you realized that I was a mistake. As you said the words I was thinking about the ways in which I could change so you would want me back. And I realized that no matter what it was that I changed, the flaws were imbedded deeper than I ever thought was possible.
I see your eyes reflect the light that was gone from my own life. So I left you, I walked away because there was no going back. No apologies would ever make it better. The place where my heart goes was left empty- a wasteland.
Weeks passed by…
People who I don't care for surrounded me. Music became the symbol for the wails of all the songs we ever sang. They were ghosts that hunted me… ghosts who made me run once again.
The room is barren, and the air is suffocating. My chest compresses. My love for you keeps me shackled to the past. I try to wash again with hate. No matter how much I scrub, your presence is still there. Hunting me. The feel of your touch, of your kiss has branded me.
