Disappointment

You fight with weapons in the form of words.

Turning them to poison slowly absorbing through her veins.

Proving her wrong for believing in endless possibilities.

She counted on you.

Now she counts the fresh wounds of your words against her past scars.

Slap her down just to pick her up.

She hides her tears with and empty smile.

Sleepless nights filled with thoughts of what she could have done differently.
