"I will always love you"

These five words, stuck in my head

Weighing me down as I carry them upon my shoulders and in my heart

Its wierd because at a time, these words gave me wings

These words,
Your words,
allowed me to feel a feeling I only ever dreamt of

These words,
Your words,
allowed me to see things, things I can't unsee

These words,
Your words,
allowed me to experience what it was like to be loved,
I mean really loved.
Like the kind of love story that is painfully true and beautifully real

You never kept to these words.
Your words,
Your promise.

When I think of these words
I feel nothing
Completely numb.

When I think of these words
I only see what we were,
What we could have been
But it hurts, so I just try to not see at all.

When I think of these words
I only experience feelings of despair, neglect, heart ache and emptiness
Completely empty.

I wish you never said those words, made that promise.

I can't help but feel that if you hadn't, I wouldn't be left trying to feel, see and experience those things again.

Those perfectly, imperfect, beautiful things.
