Shattered

Shattered remnants litter the floor.
I love you.
Spirits mingle with the stench of your betrayal.
I love you.
Falling to my knees, I break like the scattered glass around me.
I love you.
Three words I heard you whisper to another.

Very nice. The two-way use of “I love you”–the shattered/scattered–and frankly, it looks amazing, visually.

Poor thing. This is heartbreaking. It would be nice if we could just unlove someone more easily.
