I thought he was perfect.
He's got the cutest smile, a handsome face; yet not too hot so other girls would steal him.
Smart, aces the exams without studying, too.

Clever, cute, loyal to death and loves me, too.
What more could I possibly ever wish for?

The thin layer of sweat covers his body, glittering in the last dusk's breath.
Sparkles of silver are in his eyes, as if God himself got down on Earth to pour galaxies in his wooden eyes, which are prospecting me.

So, what's the missing puzzle?
You love him, don't you?

Then look at you.

Gazing at the reflection in the mirror, quietly standing.
I look at the dark circles under my eyes which are expanding, following my nose line by the parallel.

Then I look at my nose which I've always hated; the uneven line, like the messy sea in sky's rage.

Then I look at myself.

And I rage, too.

So where's the missing puzzle?
Why does he care?
Why do I?
Ah, youth - well you wore me thin,
And, by the skin of I teeth I'd almost felt something.

So there's the missing puzzle.
Me.

I even showed him how I look without makeup. I showed him my madness and my crazyness which would shoo any man away.
Why's he here?

I'm not perfect like him.
And I can't stand, oh, I can't stand the pressure.
I look at my curvy body and stretch marks, lining my legs and showing me my fight with life I'd quit from for another reason.

Why me?

And now,
The mirror's smudged with blood
And I'm sitting on a lonely chair,
A lonely soul, in a lonely room,
With a lonely mind in this lonely world.

I don't know love no more.
How could I?
I take out the mirror bits from out of my fist, silently observing.

Then I look at me.

The face of a disappointed warrior with a long past of fighting her own life,
And it might seem dramatic to you,
But I've had a lot of things on my mind
Which you wouldn't find on the normal silver plate.

I'm not perfect, nor I plan to be.
I see through the lies caused by the love veil, and I choosed to rip it off, but it's not falling down.

And I'm afraid,
I'm afraid if I stay;
When will he
Take it
Off?

There's an ache in my chest.
It floods my senses and swallows me whole.
I'm drowning in pain and sorrow.
My only lifeline has left me.
Was I not enough?
Was I too much?
Maybe I was too vulnerable.
I let you peek behind my wall and you used it against me.
I let myself become a weapon in your sugarcoated hands.
But the sugar became poison and my heart slipped between your fingers.
I felt it smash to the floor as I let out a single tear.
The pain was masked by a bright smile but tonight that smile falls.
I let myself believe you were perfection.
I was blinded by my own stupidity.
I blame myself for your mistakes.
All I can do now is pick up the pieces and move on.
Those three little words will never pass these lips again.
The only word I will utter to you after this will be the last of many.
Goodbye.
Goodbye to the butterflies and knots.
Goodbye to the kisses and tears.
Goodbye to the hugs and bruises.
Goodbye.
I won't miss you.
