IV. The Deception Point
Pt. 2

It’s the strangest phenomena,

when two lovers face each other in silence,
and are able to feel both everything and nothing all together…

He cautiously sat beside her,

yearning for the warmth

they both knew they needed from each other.

He would open his mouth to try to speak,

but words failed to be pronounced,
And she was shifting further and further away,

dealing with her own emotions very roughly.
He sensed she knew exactly what he intended to say,

that instead of making it easier,
only made things excruciatingly harder…

but it was too late to go back,

he had to say something.

The mutual stillness was suddenly interrupted by his abrupt words

condemning the unfounded ending

to their short but intense relationship.
It just wasn’t powerful enough to surpass his fear

and uncertainty towards his and his young daughter’s future.
It wasn’t protected well enough

to outdo his ex’s constant manipulative schemes to get him back

so she could have her pride repaired.
It wasn’t meaningful enough for him

to try and beat all odds against them.

Fury and disbelief frenzied in her eyes,

burning him through razor-sharp words…
