Every grain that silently falls

One by one it will be gone

Now that it has all vanished,

I know that it’s better alone

What we had

Was like a clock

The ticking was only buried

When someone had knocked

“Yes? Who’s there?”

I asked through blurry eyes

“It’s me and I’m so sorry”

I closed my eyes; I can’t take any more of your lies

“Yeah right!”

I scoffed, regretting it in an instant

 “Can’t you just hear me out?”

You said with a pant

“I’m so sorry”

He pleaded

“Like that wasn’t what you said before”

He doesn’t know what I needed.

“Really, I am sorry”

This isn’t what I wanted to hear

“Why won’t you just admit it!?”

I needed no one to see me cry, no one to be near

“I’ve got nothing to admit!

I love you, you”

He screamed through the door

“Not her but you!”

“LIES!”

I screamed back, I don’t want us to get back together, never

“If you love me, then why did I just see you kissing her?”

I heard him punch the door

But giving up after a few attempts to break down the door

I wiped a tear that I didn’t notice before

Honestly, I want to forgive him but I thought;

“What is this fight for?”

I thought

“He doesn’t deserve me

It’s his loss and my gain.”

That’s it! No more pain!

I’ve always been the one who ends up getting hurt

I’m always the one who ends up shoved down to the dirt

I’m always the one carrying the burden

But not once did he gave me some time to listen

So, yes, it is better alone

Instead of feeling the same pain and regret in the end

You taught me that not everything can be...
