top-notch ratings, don't stop.

he wrote her a song,
then asked her to sing along.

but.

she said, i don't know the words.

what words, he asks.
all we need is the music in our hearts,
the dance in our souls.

you know I LOVE YOU.
that's all that matters,
no?

and all she could do,
the least she could do was think to say,
oh, the words that deserted her,
when she needed them most.

"i love you too."

knowing it wouldn't last,
even if the last sunrise appeared before she left.
even if the last raindrop fell.
it wouldn't hurt her if she didn't think about it,
would it?

they would haunt her.
yes, it would end.

she said them anyway,
knowing the full consequence.

at least,
they would give her closure.

eyes emerald, shining
lips ruby red, moist
hands in her lap, tense
poised,

"i love you too."

one chance,
this one
was all he needed to tear her apart,
because she gave him her world.
and he.

he gave her an empty song.

just because. because i wanted to make beauty, because i wanted to watch it shatter.

you always knew how to take the words right out of my mouth. thankfully, i have a knack for.. hearing the good stuff. maybe that's why all of a sudden, i realize i know nothing about you.
