I withered by the sofa as he flooded his glass with wine, it's scarlet staining the trail of struggle betwixt us. His drunken face plastered with a forceful smirk that failed to hide his painful eyes, as he raised his glass at me. "I raise a toast to your successful pretentiousness." "My lie was hiding my truth, but my love wasn't. And the truth is, I don't deserve to love or be loved. You fell in love with everything about me, yet not me," I confessed, as tears seeped down my eyes, filling my empty glass. He crashed his heavy body on mine, as his wine drained down my transparent shirt stripping my misfit identity. His hands tugged at my skirt, unzipping it, as I held him midway. "No-" I hissed.
