he saw it all
the tears
running down her pale, gaunt cheeks
she looked exhausted
as if life was a chore
and it was all his fault
"don't cry" he whispered
she looked at him, humorlessly
"leave" she said quietly
her voice was quiet
but it spoke volumes
volumes
he looked at her, eyes narrowing
he was ready to beg
he would do anything for her
anything
anything but let her in
we hurt the ones we love the most
we hurt the ones we love the most
those words rung in his mind
clinging to his mind every time
he let her in
and that's when
the boy came out
a cocky, superficial smile on his lips
he wrapped his arm around her waist
"who is he?" the boy looked him and down
she waved her hand, dismissing him
he felt a tear
but he smiled
"nobody" she finally said
how is it to be nobody to the one person you'd give your life for?
he could see the apology in her eyes
but before the shame could wash over her
he was gone
a ghost in the night
his fancy blue shoes, clapping over the pavement
his bmw, black and sleek, on the curb
it was familiar to her, in a sense
him leaving
his feet against the pavement
but yet
the smile was nowhere to be seen
