Earbuds blasting
Curls cascading down her back like a waterfall
Her black swimsuit shapes her broken frame
hugging her tight
Tighter than he did during her sleepless nights
She stood staring at the abandoned pool in front of her
Her eyes became a steady relentless stream
Filling the desolate expanse
She crumpled to her knees, emotionless
No one came here
To the empty pool
Or the girl who filled it with her tears, just to swim
Every tear held what she saw with him
Everything she experienced with him
The way he said, I love you
How he held her close when he taught her to kiss
Not yet in the pool
She already held her breath
To keep from drowning
Crawling towards the pool of tears
She looked inside
The boy was looking right back at her
One smile was all it took
Shattered, broken, irredeemable
The pool dragged her in
And she laid herself next to him
Promising to never leave
Kissing him
Just like how he taught her
