How do you say I don't love you anymore??
How do you break a heart that you loved for so long but no longer do?? How do you tell a spouse of 13 years that the life y'all built isn't what you desire anymore?? Raw and ruthless or soft and kind... or do you just stay giving pieces of yourself away daily?? Just give me emotion,, let me feel your guilt, pain, freedom.. tag me pls

I wait for the second longest silence

we’ve been drowning in

since you arrived

I try to speak

but my tongue is frozen

firmly in its place

my chest on fire

and my heart threatening

to jump out of my chest

and into your hands

I... I... I...

is all that seems to want to

come out of my mouth

You finally look me in the eyes

it’s the coldest it’s ever felt

between us

“I just don’t love you anymore”

You say

And then you go

As quickly as you came

And I wait for the second longest silence

That’s been in the room since you left

And whisper

“I do”
