Doubt

I remember, 

The jarring words we tossed, 

And the deafening silence 

after the battle

I remember,

How you stared at me with those deep blue orbs, exhausted, yet full or rage 

I remember,

How you threw the vase that you gave me on our first date, 

And how it caused a dent in our wall, then fell shattered, like my heart, on our kitchen floor

I remember, 

The tears that burst forth like water from a dam, dripping down my face as you doubt the way i feel

Nevertheless the unfinished battle,

A ceasefire is settled,

and i’ll never forget the way you looked at me after i uttered the words you’ve longed to hear 

“Doubt thou the stars are fire;

Doubt that the sun doth move;

Doubt truth to be a liar;

But never doubt I love.”
