Inaudible Crash

November 29th, 2008

Did you hear it,
when glances misbehaved
and offers were exchanged,
did you hear it?

when a love was betrayed
in exchange lustful opportunity,
did you hear it?

when Thanksgiving memories
were replaced with holiday nightmares,
did you hear it?

when heartfelt words crossed lips
and promises were broken,
did you hear it?

when evening turned to overnight
and worried calls were left ignored,
did you hear it?

when we lied together in our bed
and I longed for reconciliation,
did you hear it?

when rooms were cleared of belongings
while you lied with him in our bed,
did you hear it?

while the two of you pretended to sleep
and our home was made empty
Did you hear my heart break?

Did you hear it? Did you?
