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


Powerful. Your lasts lines always get me.
Heartbreakingly tender write, Christopher!
