He sobbed with a look of depression and wept hopelessly,
The sky was
A dark, melancholy blue
He felt dejected and disappointed
She said he felt lost
She felt sullen,
Seeing the loneliness
Sweep across his features
His heart compressed within his chest,
Tears fell from his eyes as he tried to tear his heart from his rib cage
Knowing he’d always be a failure
She sobbed while holding back tears,
Never looking back at his crumpled figure.
The sky was a midnight blue
And she knew they would never be the same.
Nothing for these strangers would ever be the same,
For she had broken both their hearts
And he had not the strength to hold all the pieces
The black sky stretched above them
Like velvet, stars scattered across its surface
He wept
She walked away
He crumpled
She sobbed
He suffocated
She drowned
Their red string frayed and decayed
While the moon sat high among the stars
Illuminating their crumbling world
