You sat there quietly, staring at me, watching tears stream down my face, one by one... until at last a flood, before I could even look you in the eyes and speak. You sat there and listened as I poured my words over you like syrup and lit cigarette after cigarette. You watched as I opened my mouth trying to catch a breath, while the pain clutched the depth of my soul, squeezing it tightly, extracting it out of my body, leaving a corpse. You never reached out for me once, although I could see in your eyes you wanted to. Still... across the smokey room, perched in your recliner in disbelief, You just sat calmly, motionless... scrutinizing! Then finally a tear rolled down your cheek. |
