I SPOKE THE WORDS

 

I spoke the words

Though they came hard

But I could see each syllable

Cut her like a blade

Each word was a stab at her heart

The final sentence the coup de grace

A pregnant pause followed

She looked stunned

Bemused by my speech

Then the tears came

But I had no words of comfort

It hurt me to know

That I had hurt her

But I couldn’t live another minute

In a loveless void
