The last words were spoken

Was left there just standing around

Footsteps died hollowly. He left, without another word.

Silence covered her mouth like a desert. She breathed—but was she really taking in what was vital in air?

Oh what a stupid question. Almost as stupid as asking if she can live without him. Him who had her believing that the oxygen she breathed was him.

But it was wrong; there was a hole in that logic, something she refused to see. Something that she failed to see.

How could you ignore it?

She didn't feel the pain. There was none.

She said his name over and over again, trying to see if there are any truths to those heartbroken poets' beautifully written words. To see if her heart would openly tear into two. To see if her lungs would hesitate to work, and to see if her brain would die of heartache. Her heart—an unfeeling muscle, was still beating. Lungs and brain were still working, better than before.

The floor gleamed, almost triumphantly as there was no other glory gracing the place than itself. He was gone.

Gone for good—or the worst.

Brushed it all aside

To think that the tears would be subdued so easily was a mistake.

They flowed, unwanted, down. Until drops of it hit the ground, gleaming in the light. Clear and acidic. She wiped them off.

Her footsteps died hollowly as she left the room.

Goodbye.
