He told me he still loves me all these months later
- true love never dies.
However, the darkness had taken him over --
he spent most of his nights wanting to die.
And this is why we had to be apart --
how could he care for another life,
when he couldn't even care for his own?
So there, goodbye bed, safe in his arms,
he brushed the hair from my eyes,
"I hope you leave,
and go out and find happiness and so so much love," he said.
It was that one line that broke my heart the most.
Crushed my rib cage and splintered my organs,
caught breath dead in my throat.
And it didn't matter how much I shook him,
"I love you,
you make me happy, goddamn it! I am happy here!"
he wouldn't listen.
In the morning, he was gone.
My sweet troubled thing, forever in my heart,
Just no longer in my hands.
