the word "always"

 

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.

  • A very heart-twisting piece.
    I could definitely feel the pain in it. Very good emotions.
    I enjoyed the story you created - strong visuals to it.
    Though you started out very strong, the last line seemed to have weakened the piece for me. It doesn't speak out as completely necessary to the story.
    Excellent piece and thank you for entering. (:
