Lies: I'm not angry - I don't know if I want to remember

Truths: Because I'm jealous – I just want him back


Sometimes I know what to do, sometimes I don't.

Right now, all I know is what I did.

And what I did was terrible.

With a single lie, I broke two hearts.

One beating for him, the other for me, both for us.

There is no us.

Not anymore.

There's nothing.

Silence.

Chaos.

Pain.

The truth. 

The truth is I lost him.

I lost what I found.

I lost what I needed.

I still need him; he doesn't need me. 

Not anymore. 

Sometimes I know what to do.

Sometimes I don't.

This time sometimes lasts an eternity.

Forever is gone.

Our epilogue lost.

Happy ever after...

Not anymore


"What are you doing?" Rhett's whisper interrupts my thoughts and I lift my head from my paper.

"Mmh?" I hum, not fully sure what his question was. His tired eyes meet mine and his entire posture slumps.

"What were you writing?" He leans in, his shoulder to mine but I quickly hide my heartfelt scribbles. I'm not the world's biggest poet but putting blame to paper has helped a little. Not much, but I don't deserve more than a little. Rhett's deep sigh almost makes the professor look our way. "Have you talked to him? It's been two weeks..."

I pull a brow at him, hiding behind my laptop screen in front of me. The screen's not on, it's black, along with a clear reflection of myself. I don't feel like myself, I don't look like it either. I don't sleep, hardly nap, the bags under my eyes are evidence of that. I train too much, eat too little. I'm miserable. "Have you?" I mutter at him, accusingly.

He looks away, clenching his jaw. "I have." He avoids eye contact, because he knows what comes next.

"So, he forgave you?" I bite and then his side profile turns apologetic. It's anger, bitterness, blame, that sits on my tongue. It tastes awful, I can't swallow it. It would make me choke if I tried.
