sarcasm dripped from her tongue,
stinging everything in its path.
it was a last resort, a coping mechanism left for emergencies.
she jabbed and poked, hoping to elicite a response,
but to no avail, he remained emotionless and void,
and she wasn’t sure what to do.
she had loved and loved her entire life,
never giving a second thought because she didn’t really need to,
but he was a different story.
she thought they were in love,
and when she found out it was one sided from the beginning,
she was heartbroken.
it was a pain she had never experienced and she wanted him to feel it too.
so she drove and jabbed words,
words she wishes she meant.
butt he didn’t flinch,
because he thought he deserved it,
he wanted to apologize,
wrap her up and never let her go,
but he couldn’t,
because sometimes,
words left unspoken,
are better left forgotten.
