My Tears

By Alee Chery

It was night, it was raining.

Late, my lover walks in

Seated on the couch waiting.

My lover replies I was with a friend.

I reply alright love.

My lover replies I need to take a shower.

Seated in the darkness, I became ill.

An undescribable feeling of sickness overcame me.

Felt in the depths of my stomach.

I knew something was wrong.

My lover found another lover.

Let’s go on an adventure, were her first words to me!

You want to go on an adventure, were her words to the new lover.

In my mind I knew I was being replaced

I flashback when we first met.

It was night, it was raining.

Late, seated at the restaurant waiting.

The door opens my lover walks in

She smiled at me and since that night.

I loved her.

I cherished her.

I respected her.

The Power of 3.

3 different would you betray your lover?

The Power of 3

3 different times the answer was no.

Flashback to Present

I touch my heart, it became glass.

It broke, it’s coming she says.

It did come, I let out a scream that.

Could pierce the ears of angels.

My tears poured down like rain.

That could fill the ocean.

From that moment, I knew our love was over.

It was night, it was raining.

My tears.
