Unintentionally

I can see the pain in your eyes.

 

The hurt I caused.

 

Unintentionally.

 

Still I can't do a thing to fix it.

 

I stay motionless.

 

Waiting for you to make the next move.

 

Still we stand motionless.

 

Frozen in time.

 

Your eyes filled with tears now.

 

Each drop becomes a word spoken through my foolish lips moments before.

 

The echo from my selfish monologue becomes too great to ignore.

 

A screeching that invades my ear drums and beats them to no specific tune.

 

Finally your lips crack and your emotions explode and consume me, as a ship would be mid-monsoon.

 

She broke me.

 

And I broke you.

 

Unintentionally.

 

Now we are both in pieces.

 

Just as mine have, your nights will become sleepless.

 

Your days will be reduced to a meaningless drone.

 

Your heart will become as hard and cold as a stone.

 

All because of me.

 

I caused this...

 

Unintentionally.
