Her Pain

“Don’t, please just don’t”

“But . . .”

She asked him
not to explain
told him that it hurt enough as it was
“I don’t want another lie”

Between
the room’s darkness
and her tears
he felt her soul
and what he had done to her
“I’m so sorry”

“Not this time”

He stood
unsure of what to do
should he reach out to her
try to comfort her
or was it time to leave
but he feared leaving meant
goodbye
“Please . . . talk to me. Say something”

Another tear fell
as she shook her head
she wanted to tell him
that she couldn’t
that there were no more words
to describe her pain
how could he?
how could he love her more than their years
more than their struggles
more than the reasons they held on
more than her
there were no words

His head fell
as if every breath he ever had
somehow dissipated into thin air
leaving only what his lies
had created
her pain
