'please.'
'stop.'
'please babe, please stop'
'come back.'
'i'm begging you.'
'one more step. and we're done.'
one hand on the knob, you turned and paused for a second. in that brief moment, i had hope.
'forever,'
and then you left.
when paths intersect
between two intellects
with the world on their shoulders
who fight to survive as soldiers
for life is cruel
to those who live as fools.
