April May

I wasn't happy, so I left on April 9th. More specifically, I left on her birthday. She cried and begged me to stay, her knees practically buckling on her front porch in front of me. I wouldn't even look her in the eye. "I can't," was all I said before turning my back on her to leave. I didn't show her any mercy that day.

She wasn't happy, so she left on May 12th. More specifically, she left on my birthday. I cried and begged her to stay, my knees practically buckled while I stood by her hospital bed. She couldn't even look me in the eye. She said nothing before she finally flickered out and faded away. She didn't show me any mercy that day.

I left her on her birthday and she left me on mine.
