His fingers caressed her face
fixing her hair behind her ear.
He kissed her softly,
sang her sweet tunes.
He wrote her poems & played songs on his guitar.
But when she gazed into his eyes,
sadness stared back.
His eyes were empty.
Empty & sad.
Together they made love, holding each other close.
He bought her flowers,
took her on picnics.
She was his EVERYTHING,
his whole world.
She was the only light in his dark dreams.
But she began feeling like he had become too dependent on her, so she asked for a break.
Unknowingly breaking his heart into a million shards.
Darkness consumed him.
Without her, he was melting.
Melting into nothing.
When she came back, he was already gone.
It was too late.
