Her Hurt

The look in her eyes

When I've rejected

So many of our forevers

Undertones isolated her

During the moments

A bruised inner boy

Kneeled in a dark corner

Screaming not to be heard

Unforgivenly neglecting the being

That has loved and cherished

The very man...

That constantly breaks her heart

Minimizes her thoughts 

Ignores her voice 

Refraining from embracing her

My oh my...

The look in her eyes

I never realized 

Just how I shredded her soul

Until the days stop speaking

As the minutes waved in passing 

Filling every hour with lies

Notarizing manipulation 

Memories interlaced with disappointment 

Pandering and drifting

Beyond the tips of her fingers

Indexing on the absence of loyalty 

Forgoing understanding

In a city filled with hostility 

Trapped in a sea betrayal

Where all the waters of the ocean

Are from the anguish 

Of the discretion taken

That nullified her existence
