Pieces

Can you look past the flaws of the person you love the most?

I run for miles but I

Can’t manage to find you

The scent of your cigarette stains the empty room

And the new cologne I bought you for your birthday is still strong as ever

It still seems like you never left 

But then again if you didn’t, it wouldn’t be so

Quiet…

All I can hear is the faint flutter of our lavender curtains

And our harsh screams that vividly echo in my head like a haunting nightmare.

My purple bruises replay the violent images of our last night’s showdown.

Tears slowly run down my cheeks like silent waterfalls

I start to use your favorite leather jacket as my own personal pillow

And ball up in middle of the scattered debris

Of old broken Heineken and whiskey bottles

Our photograph lays a few feet away from me

How can the spirited smiles of a loving couple suddenly shatter into a million pieces so fast?

Was it something I did wrong?

Do I not make you happy?

Are we able to look past this and give it another chance?

Why is it that I can look past this and still manage to say…?

 I love you
