It never happened.
You shattered my world
Like the broken mirror
From my fit of sorrow.
Pain burns my eyes
As my voice wails for you.
My body aches for you,
To still cradle me in your arms,
To still love me.
It never happened.
You shut the door
And left me in this black abyss,
Curled on the bathroom floor,
Eyes open
But seeing only darkness.
My mind, like a broken video reel
Plays the scene over and over again.
It never happened.
As I rock myself
Back and forth,
Like a helpless infant
Without the strength to get off the ground,
I feel the needles of despair.
They stab my eyes
From the wounds, the truth bleeds
And I know
It’s over.
