Alone and Empty

Bittersweet piece. Only half-true in my case.

One line, not two
And the knot in my throat solidifies,
because I am quite certain that I
never knew what I wanted.

As beautiful as dreams can be,
nothing hurts as much as the reality
of knowing
you really
have nothing left
of him.

One line, not two
And what should be relief is mixed with
regret,
because what could have been is
over.
I am empty inside,
alone
completely now that my dreams
dissolved
as the solitary line on my pregnancy test
came into focus.

Author's Note

I doubt it ever occurs to people that after the breakup, death or divorce, there's still that one certain possibility of having a way to hold onto what was. That with the relief of not having a new responsibility comes the disappointment of not having a new life.
