Never Again

"You'll know when you have

had enough," I've said before.
It's why it feels so real.
I can look to clocks for
healing time but my spilling
mind may never stop. Shocked,
on this slow evening, choppy
breathing from my
rapid tears, emotions
uncontainable.

"You make me tired," were his
words to me. "It's over. I'm
finished."
But how much strength did it
take to let away five long years
out of nowhere? Blinded
by all that I had felt, I guess.
Rewinding back three weeks ago
when he mentioned something about
forever.

"Never again." Believe my words
because I had given it
all to him, to this load of my life
that can't be given back. Tears I
cannot take back, smiles, which
take me to those days of being cloud high.
I guess it's really over.
