IT MATTERED

EVERY MOMENT DOES

I didn’t hear you

Maybe I should have

Given you more of myself

In that moment

I saw something

In your eyes

But I turned away

And as I did

I knew I betrayed

All the years

That held us together

The air left the room

My heart mourned

The distance between us

Feeling like a broken promise

I hung my head

Then I heard you sigh

I looked up

Your eyes met mine

A dried tear

Scarred your cheek

A piece of you

On the floor

You smiled through me

And turned out the light
