The Day That Pain Came To Stay

I can almost pinpoint the hour, minute and second when I realised that you don’t feel for me as I do for you… The needles and pins that pierced my heart leave scars that run deep – hurt saturates my soul… The anger has gone, but instead I am drowning in indifference – absence of emotion and feeling drags me down, yet it is also my lifeboat… Your comprehension of the situation is perplexing; excuses and justifications overflow, but all you have to do is be honest – with me, with yourself… I trusted you with all that I am and this was the repayment plan you devised – hollow acts of niceties and supposed caring that eroded the very foundation of what we had… What we had… Copyright Deon J.H.
