i take a deep breath every time i pass your door. i know you're there but i can't see you anymore.
i love you, mary,
and you love me.
~:~
and look where
that love
has brought us.
~:~
numb
was the only word
to describe what he felt
without her.
~:~
without you,
my heart is closed
as tight as a fist.
~:~
she closed her eyes
so that
she would not see his pain.
mary chose to turn a blind eye
to what she was doing to him.
~:~
i only wanted to find-
~:~
happiness.
your happiness.
and now we will all suffer the consequences.
~:~
he liked to pretend
that she meant as little to him
as he seemed to mean to her.
but he knew it wasn't true.
he could tell himself that all he wanted
but it would never make it true.
~:~
he could see her
but he couldn't feel her.
that was the worst way to miss her
when she
was in the very next room.
~:~
save your apologies.
your words have no meaning for me anymore.
~:~
stop right there
there's
a hole inside his chest.
