Little Words
"I had feelings for her"
Those five little words that in
any other sentence would have
had any other meaning but
together hurt me deeper than
any wound.
Those five little words that
were a wrecking ball and my
life was the condemned
building.
Those five words that made me
feel like a weed trampled in a
meadow filled with flowers.
"But it meant nothing."
Those four little words that felt
like a punch to the stomach.
Knocking all the air out of my
lungs and leaving me to feel
like I was suffocating.
"I chose you"
Those three little words that
shattered my heart because at
one point you made me an
option and her your choice.
"I'm sorry"
Those two little words that lost
all meaning.
One sentence filled with
eighteen little letters that made
up five little words caused my
world to crumble and fall.
