Empty Hearts

................

today you yelled at me for never responding to you, for not eating, for just staring blankly at the wall.

i stared at you instead. and felt a tear drip down my cheek, like the condensation dripping down the beer you were holding.

you started to drip from your eyes, and threw away the remainder of the bottle in your grip

and picked up my hand.

i felt a sting of emotion. i just don't know what emotion.
