n. the delusion of things being more beautiful than they actually are
*****
It has been days since the day he turned away.
Yet that look haunted my every breath.
Even when I closed my eyes, I see the way his eyes clouded over and his small quirk of a smile vanish like a broken record. It's as if I had shattered his very soul and picked up the pieces to stab his heart.
It's the type of gaze that
freezes
captures
And the same one I see in the mirror
reflecting back at me.

Today, the painters decided it's time for a new canvas of masterpiece.
My legs lost feeling.
And my heart stopped beating
when I spotted him at the doorway.
He didn't look hurt because of me, he looked hurt for me.
Look at me, am I finally beautiful?
