I lay awake in this night.

The beautiful sky filled with stars.

Thoughts of you come crashing in my mind.

Like waves pulling and pushing on the shore.

My cheeks tingle with the sensation of warm salty water.

The taste of the tears bringing memories so familiar and vivid I can’t help but to sob more.

I still remember how your eyes looked. 

A pang of pain clouded your beautiful dark brown orbs.

Your cheeks flushed in a light pink 

Lips trembling and breath shallow.

That day I knew that I had hurt you.

I stabbed you right in the heart.

And I twisted the dagger so far that the pain brought you to your knees.

It wasn’t my intention to hurt you.

Oh God knows that I never wanted to hurt you.

I guess I’ve been so blinded with hurt that I thought I was doing the right thing.

I was oblivious of how my actions killed you little by little. 

I thought I was protecting my heart.

Protecting my heart from all the hurt in the world, I ended up hurting the only person who loved me.
