Your face floats through my thoughts,
my heart begins to race.
The words you spoke echo
around my mind.

Liar, liar liar.

I don’t want to
hear your apology;
protecting my feelings
is the opposite of what you did.
Leading me up
over
off
a cliff more like.

How can you say
you care?
How can you hold
me only days ago,
and go home
to her
tonight?
How do you not
see the pain you’ve slashed
across my chest?

There’s no one left
to pick up the pieces,
and I’ve forgotten
how this puzzle is completed.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

Yet I can’t let go. I can’t let you go.
