There we were, together

Yet she was all alone.

Crying

Wailing

Punching

Pushing

Scratching

Struggling to breathe

She sat on the floor

Looking at me

"what is my flaw?"

"WHY I'M I NOT GOOD ENOUGH?"

She shouted.

"why i'm i not good enough."

She whispered, in between sobs


She loved me,

She still does..

I didn't!

I was in love with the memories

what we were.

How do i tell her that?

All the little things she used to do,

She stopped.

The girl i fell in love with

I could only reminisce

Its not you, its me!

Silence



Her smile, non existent

Her hair, messy

Her dress, sweaty

Her make-up, ruined

Her eyes, Bloodshot

The look in her eyes..

She blinked thrice

a flicker of a bulb

The spark was gone..

...Lights out!

And it was at this moment

i knew that,

I broke her!
