3.

you feel hollow. they are together, laughing, smiling, talking. you don't want to move. with heavy eyes, you watch trees blur by. poisonous thoughts clog your mind; nothing makes them stop. is it anger? is it fear? is it loss? you don't know.

everything is blank in the fading light. interests are fleeting. you want to scream, to hit, to claw. you are motionless. words dance on your tongue only to be swallowed with the taste of jealousy that clots your blood and brings it to a boil.

they are together and you are alone. it seems like you are shattering all over again. you've lived this before. why is it happening again? you want to stop.

you want to breath. the air is gone.
