Why.

why
why did you just start crying
why did you just turn towards me without looking
why did you just say those words
"I'm sorry"
why did you do this to me.

I want to cry or kick or scream
I want to shout my heart out
but I just stand there
you walk away
the burning silence engulfs us
the illusion is shattered
of invincibility, of infinity
my soul reaches its inevitable destination
shattered, maybe
but too numb to notice

this isn't how it was supposed to go
you know this
at least I thought you did
we were supposed to play out that old story
the one you dream of when you're a kid
my brains, your everything, together like it should be
but instead the story is over
finished right at the start

I wish I could be holding you right now
why did you leave me holding onto memories
