Once more
Like a time bomb
Ticking
He had inevitably triggered
Primed
Unstoppable
Slowly
Surely
Zero.
Tomorrow
Judgement day.
But he will not run.
Defuse
If need be
Throw himself
On the mine.
When the sun rises
His world
Will still stand.
His friend
Will still be there.
And perhaps
It could be
Cynicism be damned
A happy ending.
In another light
Darkness of the room
From under the covers
Sniffling sounds
Break the silence.
A mess of hair and tears.
Tears
Like rivers
Burst their banks
Flow and flood
The expression
Cry her heart out.
Indeed
She cried her heart out.
Two horrible events
Back to back
Will always break
The weak.
One day.
One bad day.
That is how far
Into the abyss
She had fallen.
All it takes
A single card
To topple the whole house.
Her arms
Weakly wrapped
Around a crumpled pillow
The only solace
To fill her
Stave off
The dreadful
Emptiness
Fear.
Sorry.
I am so sorry.
I was selfish
Ignorant
A fool
Tricked countless times
Blindly following
A path
Leading to nowhere
Leading to nothing
And now
The edge is near
End is nigh
There will be no one
To catch me
Save me.
What can sorry do?
What can crying do?
Nothing.
It was her fault.
Did she deserve it?
By vengeance
Her hunger was satisfied
But at what cost?
Faces
Now she feared
They haunted her
Ice cold queen
Blonde prince
The devil herself.
But most of all
Him.
The cynical dead-fish eyed man.
The only man who truly loved her.
His words
A distant echo
Lessons
She had failed
To learn.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
She was fooled for the fourth time.
Whose fault was it?
In the words of the cynic
It was on your own liability.
To move forward, you must learn.
She had not learned
Has she?
Those who cannot learn.
Die.
She withered
At the word
Her tears
Without end
Her voice
Ragged
Her heart
Broken
Dead?
Not yet.
He will criticize her
A foolish and clumsy girl
But afterwards
He will always love her.
Always teaching
The moral
Of each story
The cynic
And the silly girl.
You love someone you need.
Not want.
Someone with true colors.
Not some pretty boy in a mask.
His words rang true.
I wish
If only
He could be mine
A selfish desire
But
I need him.
Regret.
Please.
One more chance.
Save her heart
From shattering
Irrevocable
Death.
To see his smile
Feel his hands
Hold him
Kiss him
Love
Him.
Reminisce
His soothing voice
From his lips
A song
Consolation
It was her
Only her
He would sing it to.
Put her head
On his shoulder,
Hold her in his arms
Put his lips next to hers,
A kiss goodnight
Maybe,
You and I will fall in love.
