he took off
the necklace she gave him
for their 3 year
anniversary
and laid it
beside the picture of them
at the beach.

she had gone
out to her other man
and grayson had
willed himself
to do what he had been
thinking about
for oh so long.

his things were in his car
but he just wanted to look
one
last
time.

he looked through
all of the pictures
he had set on the bare bed.

he re-read
all of the stupid notes
she left him
when he would get home
and she was at the store.

he walked through the halls
and out the door
saying goodbye to
the big
empty house
along with
all the memories in it.

sure he bought the house
but he wanted her to feel alone.
he wanted her to hear
the echoing
of her footsteps
when she walked
because no one was there
to talk over it.

he wanted her
to lay alone
in bed
and wonder
where everything went wrong.

he wanted her
to feel everything
he had
in the past 5 months.

and so
he left.
he left the house
he left the pictures
he left the memories
he left his bruised
aching,
battered,
beaten,
torn,
and broken
heart.
