Lately

Everything

It.. it

Disappeared

I went to the tree

He was with another girl

Like it was nothing

They weren't crying

Or talking

Or whispering

They were just sitting there

Kissing each other

I felt like a knife had entered my heart

After he kissed me

And gave me hope

He destroyed it

My hope

It was barely there

And then he gave me more hope

Then destroyed what he built

Forever

He saw me and he looked

Something

I hadn't seen him like that before

Like he was scared

But also in pain

My chest was extremely tight

I felt like I was about to pass out

All I could think was

No

Not now

Not again

Cause my mind

Was racing

Faster than my heart

My heart

It always chooses the right path

My head however

Does not

I couldn't move

But neither could he

Like we were paralyzed

I looked at the back of the girl

I recognized her hair

It was one of the only people I still trusted

He started to stand up

I took a step back

With each step he took

Towards me

I broke down

Crying

He ran over to me

Along with her

They held me

In their arms

I told them I was sorry

For breaking the promise I made

With them

With my other friends

With my family

With my counselors

With my teachers

And they didn't know what to say

So we stayed there

Like that

For hours

When I stopped crying

Me and him

We sat under the tree

And talked

About everything

We both shed tears

Like it was nothing

We both needed it

But it's not the same

Not anymore

I told him that I felt like dying

Yesterday

And he told my mom

He saw what happened

And so did my friends

His betrayal ripped me apart

Maybe even forever
