Night Sky - Speak

She stared longingly out the window.
She was craving happiness.
She had spent too long being sad.
She had cried too many tears.
He touched her hand.
She felt nothing.
She felt no warmth in their touch.
He looked into her eyes, forcing a tiny smile.
She gave him an empty stare.
He reached out to hug her.
She threw herself into his arms.
He wrapped his arms around her tiny frame.
She felt tears dampening his shirt.
He didn’t care.
He said “I Love You”
She hesitated, and said “I Love you too”
She knew she did, why did she hesitate?
She felt all the sadness inside her, it was overwhelming.
He felt her heart beat against his.
She felt the same.
He couldn’t bring himself to say how he felt.
She could.
He said “Why are you sad? ”
She said “I think you know”
He said “You have too much to be happy about”
She said “Do I? ”
He said “You always accentuate the negative”
She said “The negative is overwhelming”
He said “don’t let anything overwhelm you accept for my love”
She was a sucker for his romantic side.
He said “Sometimes you need something painful to distract you”
He pulled the back of her bra and it snapped against her skin.
She giggled and through her tears a smile emerged.
She then remembered how unhealthy their relationship was.
She thought of how many times this happens.
She pondered why she pounds herself on the head with a hammer?
…Because it feels so good when she stops.
