“Do you still love me?” she asked
with tears welling up in her brown eyes
that once shined in the daylight
her heart was aching for an answer
she could feel the butterflies in her stomach
not the beautiful monarch butterflies
but more so ones that flutter around the sickening
feeling of heartbreak
she knows what is coming
it is just a matter of a few moments
and one word to leave his lips
that once touched hers
she thought how could this pain come from just one word
“no” he replied.
