Paused mid thought you looked at me, As if my expression would hold some unknown truth. A reply to a question you hadn't asked yet, An answer I didn't have. The words hung in the air as you spoke, Tongue carefully curling round each delicate letter. Only you could capture that brutal sentence So eloquently. For a moment there was nothing, An immortal numbness shrouded in black. Then that fatal bleak emotion gave way, To very human pain. The lights began to swim in my eyes, As I watched your face mutate through the memories. Your cruel voice embedding itself Forever in my tears.
