Bold, sapphire eyes - they love me. In a room of many, she seeks me out. With arms wide open, I'm embraced by a universal warmth that's only declared by love's decree and things are so beautiful this way. The days we lay by the fire as I sing you to sleep, those are moments that can't be captured into words. We thrived off each others passion, the zest for loving you and being their always.
I like the word "always", because it gives me a reason to lie to myself. It gives me a chance to forget seeing the state troopers at my front door, asking if they could come in and speak with me, only to catch me as I collapse on the floor. I know I'm not hearing them correctly, she was just here. Her beautiful flowing hair resting across my shoulder blade, as we watch movies together. As every kiss tells a story and every "I love you" deepens our trust.
But every kiss, every hug, every "I love you" I ever spoke seemingly meant nothing in a matter of 5 seconds, and my whole life changed. A part of my heart has turned black and died. My skies caved in and no stars will brighten its sky.
I can never understand, why.
