Member-only story
to you,
a harmless & little word
a question impossibly innocent
unleashed in me,
a flood of anger & hurt
a reminder of childhood trauma
those eyes,
the ones I was lost in
blankly stared back into mine
my eyes,
searched yours for hope,
now looked at you differently
and in a few minutes,
daggers sprang from my lips
as you listened incredulously
your intentions
may have been misconstrued
but I only heard indifference
an ocean of doubt
filled the space in my heart
of your once permanent residence
a frigid blanket
replacing warm thoughts,
threatening to end it all
within me arising
a disappointing awakening,
turning sour the fruit of our love
