In an Instant

In an instant everything was gone

That snap of the finger

Those startling words 

His voice mouthed 

'Good Bye'

I shuddered

He slammed the door behind himself. 

I walked 

Over to lock it

His footsteps pounded against my ears

Echoing

Calling

'You shouldn't have done it' 

'You shouldn't have done it' 

'You shouldn't have done it' 

These are the words I should be thinking 

I was listening to a whole new train of lies

'I didn't do it'

'I didn't do it'

'I didn't do it' 

These were, of course

Lies

Because, in reality

I really 

Did.
