That Single Word
Today I texted you
Wondering what was wrong
And why you were avoiding me at school.
"We need 2 talk" I hesitantly sent
And waited for your reply.
"Ok" you said,
"Lets talk."
So I asked you why
You were acting so strange,
And did you know how much
You were hurting me?
Then I waited a minute
And sent you another.
"Do u... not want me anymore?"
It was several minutes before you answered
And even then it was vague.
A single word,
Small, yet powerful:
"No."
I took a deep breath
And cried a thousand tears
Because with that single word,
Small, yet powerful,
My heart was shattered
And my life ended.
