A Heartbreaking Day
Standing there, I felt so dumb.
How didn't I see it?
Why am I in shock?
Why do I feel like my heart is breaking into pieces?
The pain. I don't like the pain.
I feel like crying, but the tears won't come.
I am still standing there. Staring.
He is holding her in his arms.
They are curled up against the wall.
He looks up.
Our eyes meet.
I look away. Out the window.
The rain is falling outside.
The air is filled with rain of tears.
The bell is ringing.
I have to go to class.
I can't.
I go outside.
The rain had stopped.
I walk around the school.
I wish the rain would start again.
I wish it would wash my brain of the memories, the pictures that had carved themselves into my brain.
I am still walking outside.
I won't cry.
