Silence

one.

Your silence is deafening. Our memories weigh heavily on my shoulders. The lies you’ve spoken carved into my skin. The forgiveness you promised now tortures my soul.

“I’ll try. I promise, I’ll try.”

Actions speak louder than words. I loved you and I love you wholeheartedly. I forgave things I never thought possible to forgive.

“I’m sorry. I am so sorry.”

I said it once. I said it twice. I said it down on my knees, crying into my hands. I’ve wronged you in a manner you’ve wronged me before, but the outcomes seem to differ.

I love you, but in the end I will choose me.
