there was a picture of you
you were smiling

i remember that smile,
that laugh
rare, but beautiful
it created its own light

you were smiling
you seemed happy
without me
it seems like you don't need me

but it's good that you're smiling
it's good you're okay
I wish you the best.

I can't seem to ignore the fact
that you look so happy without me.
was I that easy to get over?

i can't stop the tears from running down.
I blink,
and the tears synchronize their rolling
down my both cheeks.

i will never see that smile again.
you make no effort to see me,
i will never hear that laugh again.
i will never hear your voice again.

there is an absence in my heart,
a chamber made just for you,
is now filled,
with emptiness.

how ironic.

i will never see that smile again.
never the melodious sounds from your voice
reach my ears again.
i let the fresh tears drip,

it feels so good to cry
and let go of the tension just for a moment.
my glasses have tears on them.
let the world ******* saltiness,
my bitterness,
the rancour.

do we just end like this?
i don't want to end like this.
is this truly the end?
can't I write onto our story,
a happily ever after?

i will never see that smile again.
because you have evaded from my grasp,
i know i can't make you love me again-
if it was even love in the first place-

                                                                          i breathe in.
