This, I wrote this morning. Kinda' cliché but it's about my boyfriend and I breaking up the day before. I also wrote it for the Artists FC contest, but it's just a random bunch of events scrambled into a one shot.
We started on a Tuesday, you left on a Friday.
Through the city parks, light fading and the essence of Winter lured. Golden leaves blanketing the path under her feet. Slow walking as her blue opals read the feeble words on the screen in front of her. Her heart spitting with every sentence that passed.
‘I don’t deserve you anyway..’
Her teeth sunk into the soft tissue of her lower lip, the words on the Florissant screen a blur now, the salt tears invading her eyes. Words fizzled in her mind like they made no sense. A black hole opened beneath her but wouldn’t swallow. Left there, auburn hair dancing in the wind as the world came down around her.
What am I supposed to do? Disappear?
Three rows from the back and she found her seat, her mobile tucked into her back, peeking out slightly to catch her attention. The moment she feared most, she had waited for weeks for this moment and was then confident that it wouldn’t happen. It did. People chattered amongst themselves, another normal Friday at six o’clock. Drowning in her internal tears, a quick glance at the screen before headphones stuffed into her ears.
I really miss your hair in my face, the way your innocence tastes.
Tears fell now. There was no one left, just her. Three rows from the back watching the city hospital coming into view at the top of the slope. Hand covering mouth, trembling.
Saying I love you won’t matter now will it?
There was no reply.
