What he just said to me, plays back like a broken record. Should I laugh it off, or should I show him that it really did hurt. I smile, but move away. Trying to stay happy, but I can't. The one I love, the one that always stood up for me when others said the same, has just broken me. The remark I thought he'd never say, the sentence I thought would never come out of his mouth, did. I don't know why, it's never hurt like this when others had said it. I've always defended myself when others spoke that sentence to me, yet with him I feel like I have been put on mute. I feel my mouth is dry, my throat scratchy. Finally, I look away, my eyes not able to meet his. I asked to go get a drink, tears escaping from my eyes. He looks at me, sympathy, pain, hurt, and regret running through his eyes. His face can tell the story, but so can mine. I walk out of the room and break down. Why did he say it, why?

Ruined
He said goodbye. He told her she'd be better off. He thought time would heal her wounds. He never meant to hurt her. She'd tried so hard. She'd tried to forget him.

You've left marks on my heart, Like footprints or scars, Or just fresh wounds, From an invader from Mars, I wonder if they'll heal, Or transform into something new, Perhaps if we stick...
Used
You didn't forget me I've been here all along You think I don't remember you I'm here to prove you wrong Each detail of each night with you Etched detailed in my head And all those things you said...
What once was.
I used to watch the words flow from your mouth, I used to watch them fade away in the dead space you once called air. I used to breathe you in. Then you decided breathing wasn't an option.
No One But Yourself
The days when happiness was no struggle, Head held high with confidence. How have I gotten to where I am now, Shy and insecure with little confidence.
Nobody
He was nobody; a boy. He was somebody; to her. Hair clung to her face. Wet cheeks from the rain. Or was it from tears. She loved him so. He healed her heart. To heal her fear. Cost a hefty price.
You
You can run but I can't hide you. You can scar, I can't erase, Can't wash you from my humming mind Emblazoned there for all my days.
