If you asked me
“Do You love me?”

I wouldn’t have any answer to that.

Instead
I would have a pair of eyes
Burning with tears
Rapidly blinking them away

Ways to hide it from you.

I would have this
Throbbing pain inside my heart
Like ripping all the heartstrings out.


I would scream
With those tears streaming down
With all the flashbacks coming back
I would hold my palms on my ears
And try to block out all the whispers

Of the past and the present.

I would overthink
All your words and actions
Driving myself to insanity

Or are you the insanity?


And despite all of these
I would smile at you
Taking my sweet time
And say
“If I told you that I loved you
Would you believe me
And stay with me
Or still run back to her?”
