The door slammed shut;
the room was silent and cold.
We sat next to each other,
alone, with words untold.
Were there words,
before the moment of truth?
Or did I just forget,
because of what ensued?
Recollection of me
turning my head to you.
With blurry intoxicated eyes,
and your eyes bleary too.
You said,
“I will always care for you.
I will always be there for you.”
The air froze,
my breath too.
I was confused.
You nodded at me,
with a gentle, loving gaze.
That told me everything,
amidst all that haze.
What a bittersweet realisation!
Tears welled up in my eyes.
Thoughts tangled up,
emotions arose from the whys.
“Why… didn’t you…?”
You shook your head.
I looked to you for answers,
angry and betrayed.
The handle clicked;
my body jolted to attention.
I went into another room
for my tearful reflection.
