It was almost something

The way he looked at me

With a dim light in his eyes

But

He looked at her with galaxies

Hidden behind shadows of warm

Cozy memories

It was almost something

His kiss melted my heart

But harden his um...

But

He kissed her with a craving

Of love not lust

His lips the perfect shape to match hers

Fitting together like connecting pieces

That have been missing each other

It was almost something

When he called me

"Cute"

My heart fluttered around

In my chest like butterflies he

Had set free

He called her beautiful

Hair up in a twisted bun

So perfectly sculpted

By not even trying

Leaving me with a hole in the flesh that lived

In my chest

With each touch

With each word

With each promise

With each lie

I sunk deeper and deeper

Into the black pit of his

Almosts

I craved him

His smile etched in my memory

His laugh sewn into my heart

Like a girl scout patch

I ripped his laugh from my heart

I erased his smile from my memory

Now he is a scar left on an organ
