he was still there
of course he would be, right?
it's not like he disintegrated along
with the relationship
he was still there
living, breathing, laughing
why was he laughing?
how could he feel so alive when i felt so
dead?
raw, under appreciated, wasted
like an animal carcass hanging from a string
and all that remained
was my shell
but i was empty inside
and being eaten away by flies
