Five dollar chocolate

"I didn't mean that..." he said retrieving his coat

that was resting on my shoulders

Protecting me from the wind and sleet coming down

 

I can deal with a lot in a relationship

the dates spent with you crying on my shoulder

me, constantly wiping away your tears

The ninja star you through at my picture

reassuring you I said "It wasn't my favorite picture anyway"

 

but when you sent me a bar of chocolate and the poem

Every day for two months, without much a word

or a minute in your company

a replacement for your heart

a gift that you retrieved

what are your words,

without your actions holding them up

 

You later told me "I didn't give anything in the past half year to you out of love"

what did you give it out of?

Pride?

revenge?

Pity?

 

You know better then anyone

I don't need that 5 dollar chocolate, that just goes down like a weight

or the poems, long words that meant nothing, a long way of saying

here is a page with words on it for you.

because you can't tell me in person

"You mean nothing to me but a five dollar chocolate and long words on a page"
