I just looked at her. I'm surprised my stomach didn't digest my heart right there, as my eyes ran across the back of my brain, I could feel the static building. Wondering. Where I went wrong and when. We had it all. The lazy Sundays. The gluttonous nights after work. The lustful sweat falling to her bare skin mixing with the oils and dust in the air. Her make up running with angst Asking to be set free, I know that feeling all to well, I said. What? She looked perplexed pausing the passion. Oh, sorry, I slapped her in the face, and she smiled.
