“GO” I screamed.
Please don’t, my heart whispered.
“But…” he stuttered.
I don’t want to, his heart pleaded.
“I love you.” he mumbled.
Me too, my heart ached.
“Well, I don’t.” I snapped.
Don’t lie, his heart beseeched.
“Okay, then.” we said together
wiping our hands clean off dust
I’ll miss you, our hearts chimed together
silent fractures achingly exposed
You should leave, now.
I need you by my side.
I’ll collect my belongings tomorrow.
Don’t break my heart like this!
It’s all for the best.
My world is falling apart.
Good luck, then.
Hug me and say it’ll be okay.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
The sounds of the man
and the sounds of the woman
and the sounds of their hearts
echoed forever in
the strange silence
that followed
and
never left.
