I hold a piping hot chocolate
In my heated cautious hands
With a ring of white around the top
I sit in a comfortable chair
Music playing sooths me
As I stare across the room
He is sitting at a table
Holding a piping hot coffee
Without a ring of white around the top
He drinks it black.
He is sitting in a comfortable chair
Swaying to the soothing music subconiously
As he stares into the eyes I wish belonged to me
He is chatting excitedly with her
Smiling lopsidedly as he leans across the table
To brush her lips with his
Lips that used to be mine
His big eyes smile too,
In that way I'm not supposed to adore anymore
As he sips at his drink,
He admires her
The way he used to look at me
His curly hair falls in his eyes,
I analyze his every move
Hoping he will look my way and see me
Look into my pulsating heart
And decide that he wants me again
That what we had was amazing,
I want him to wonder why that was lost.
I want him to sit so close to me that we can feel each other
Every movement, breathing, beating.
I want him to hug me gently
And whisper sweet everythings in my hopeful ears
As I stare across the room,
I wonder why it had to end
I wonder how I could ever do what I did
And I wonder why I gambled all that we had
I wonder why I cheated.

Beautiful. Cheating is horrible. I have never been hurt in a way worse than being cheated on. Thank you for entering and good luck!
-
Wow. I did not expect an ending like that. But the saying goes never expected the unexpected. I liked this one a lot. Cheating does hurt. I have thought about it but my guilty conscience of afterwards is something that I really would not look forward to. Thanks for entering and good luck.

great write.. it has amazing flow.. great feeling.. good job... thank you for entering -
well you perfectly portrayed how humans want what they can't have...and yes i am in your shoes and know these feelings well.
i love how you make it seem like it was his choice to end the relationship and then throw in the real reason at the very end...no matter what we do to people we are always to trying to rationalize...nice work!! -
typical of spurned love
you are observing every detail about the one who spurned.
Oh and I just notice the last line "I wonder why I cheated." Nice touch.
