the earth eating him.
all he wanted was to breathe easy.
this is not the sound that she wanted to hear.
the dial tone wasn't enough company.
didn't provide her with the courage to press her fingers against the numbers.
he would've called, if his styrofoam eyes weren't blinded by the day's verity.
she would've told him,
if her ears could stand to listen to the voice that once said i love you.blindsided by the figure laying in the middle of the day,
pedestrians mumbled condolences after hearing why.
shocked by her inability to stay true,
friends left her room quietly after hearing what happened.
she found another.
but didn't say a thing.
and for months, the truth of their love was only known by her, the deceiver.
so he laid himself down.
tried to breathe easy.
