Lovers Lie

Breath caught in her esophagus, she could have been
Death because this was his heart's murder she was
Committing while she watched his tears fall but she was finally
Quitting and giving up on three years and everything they had
Saved for their forever but he couldn't deny that she was
Brave and honest in her attempt to salvage what was already
Damned so he cursed the other she'd found, the other
Man that he wasn't for her; why was he never
Enough? He'd given her all that he could
Stuff her pretty heart with but he guessed that the
Other had given her more and she clinged to that petty
Lover while throwing his heart in her
New college trashcan, yellow and
Blue because those were her favorite colors like the
Bruised and still beating thing she'd forgotten like the
Used tissue that she had cried into at his funeral.
