German Boy
German Boy
“I love you”
Silence
“I love us”
More silence
“I need you”
A terrifying
Horrible
Earth shattering
Silence
A tear rolls its triumphant path
Down her innocent cheek
The spine in her shakes
Lips quivering
Trying to speak
She whispers
“without you
I am weak”
A quickening patter in her heart
A sweaty tension
She cannot stand for them to be apart
Her brain abruptly stopped
What’s taking over is a thought
A nervous
Destructive
Yet innocent thought
Her mouth unfairly opens
Before her brain reacts
She sharply spits the words
“but you don’t need me.
Why else would you leave”
Regret fills her body
She knows the cruelty of her words
She turns
Slowly breaking down inside
More tears
Roaming hot amongst her cheeks
Filling her eyes with a horrible sting
Letting her heart beat
Releasing breaths of defeat
Then she hears the words
She hears the words that are so sweet
And yet they rip her heart apart
They rip it into tiny scraps
Tiny scraps no glue could mend
“I will always love you”
She paused
Then continued on because
She knew
That would be the end.
