Hiccup, Whisper, Sigh

April 2, 2005

Is this how it is supposed to be

Lonely and unforgiving?

I had forgotten those cold words

Harsh and made of stone.

Regret tossed in with colored obscenities

Drenched in loathing and hate.

Desperate for an out.

No exit.

No way to escape.

Hunched, frightened, backed against a wall.

Cover your eyes.

Purse your lips.

It’s all coming back, as dreadful as it seems.

The calm before the storm.

Cliched happy ending.

Those lines haven’t been seen around here for awhile now.

Could it have been her fault?

Maybe it was just a mistake.

Those words, so cold

Seemed to be made of stone.

No reason to be angry.

At least let her explain.

Maybe things would be better off

If you gave him some time.

Things aren’t what they seem

And it always come back to bite you

Hard

On the ass.

Cheeky but in no way a flirt.

Maybe this was a mistake.

Trust is overrated.

Obviously.

A sniffle, a wipe of the eye.

Trickle down softly

Tears replacing clenched fists.

Hiccup, whisper

Gasp, sigh.

Dragging purse in hand.

Heels clicking against the floor.

Headache.

Maybe this was a mistake

But he was wrong.

Cliched storybook ending.

Happily ever after.

It was a lie.

The princess is leaving.

The prince left behind.

Cliched storybook ending.

Hiccup, whisper

Sigh.
