Back in the closet

Back in the closet

A Poem by Alicia Santos
"

completely and utterly heartbroken

"
She leans over and all I can think about are the sweet nothings she's about to whisper in my ear
Instead, she just looks at me
Eyes so empty
Skin so pale
Face so lifeless
All I want to hear is I love you too; but no
The only thing she can muster in a small raspy voice is I'm sorry
That's when she decided to walk away forever
Never looking back

How will I go on? 
The sound of her voice gives me chills
Hearing her name is heart breaking
I never thought that she would be the one
The only one who could have my heart if she wanted it
The only one to stomp on my heart repeatedly with kind words
The same kind words that are equivalent to knives in my back

Back in the closet, I go

This is heart-wrenching & those last words "back in the closet" close it perfectly...but I hope..in real this is not the case..

I only write about personal experiences :-/
The most heart breaking line to me is "back in the closet I go"

well... at least it wasn't a "thank you"... haha that was a slap in the face for me :-)
Heartbreaking read. Love this line....

The same kind words that are equivalent to knives in the back

That says it all...nice one.

it's hard to see nothing in the eyes of someone that used to be everything.

Good write.

enjoyed the emotions behind this piece
if your feelings are back in the closet ...don't lock the door
let them heal of course but a locked door is hard to break into
thank you so much for sharing
