Break Up

A conversation between two lovers who just gone through the ultimate break up.

“I hate to see you like this,

Once you were so full of bliss.

Now you’ve let yourself go

Spiraling out of control.”

 

“I was happy, that is true,

But my happiness revolved around you.

Without you I am nothing,

My life doesn’t mean a thing.”

 

“That’s not true,

If you think that, you are a fool.”

Cupping his face in her hands

She kisses his lips as soft as she can.

 

“I miss your touch,” he cries

As he holds her hands to him and sighs.

“I can not live

I have no more left to give.”

 

“You can not talk this way

I beg you, you must stay.

Where I am you can not follow

And I’m sorry it fills you with sorrow.”

 

“This pain knows no bounds, you don’t understand.

It consumes me, I am but a shell of a man.

My heart, my body, my soul, all belong to you.”

He cries then whispers, “I know not what to do.”

 

She looks down at him and stares.

She knows that it is unfair.

Her emotions are cold.

She no longer feels anything that is bold.

 

“Let me be, my love, let me be.

Can’t you see,

What you’re doing to me?

Please I beg you, let me be.”

 

“I’m sorry seeing me brings you pain

But coming here brings me no gain.

You bring me here every night,

Yet you won’t allow me to leave your sight.”

 

“You come here on your own,

Then you leave me alone in this home.

I do not call you here,

Cause losing you again is what I fear.”

 

“You can not lose me,

Why can’t you see,

I am no longer yours to lose,

Not letting me go is something you choose.”

 

“Leave then, just go.

I promise I will love you no more.

I am free to do what I want,

Me you can no longer haunt.”

 

“I wish I could take away your pain,

I can see my death drives you insane.

I will visit your dreams no more.”

She kisses his lips as she floats out the door.
