Alone

The house is quiet and still as I sit and gaze out the window. My heart is heavy and the tears flow, I am unable to breath. I raise a shaky hand to brush my unruly hair from my eyes. It is a useless endeavor, the hair falls right back where it began.

It hurts to breath. I gasp for air as my body is once again racked with sobs.

You knew how things were from the start. You told me you could handle it. You fell in love with me anyway.
