My world became blurry the moment he said those words.


Beads of perspiration glistened all over my body-my nose, my neck, my arms, my locs…


My skin danced with a symphony of shivers, each note whispering how doomed I was, I am.


“Mio”, he was everything to me. An arm-


-an arm I could always lean on.


With every vibration,


every beep- my heart would leap


Longing for his name to grace my screen


Just one. More. Time.


Last night, my tears felt like heavy raindrops from a very stormy sky


It was suffocating-


I was suffocating,


It was all over


And from my blurry vision, I saw a being appear followed with a gentle touch.


And just then did I feel my lungs ache for air, forcing me to breathe.


And in the shadows of my depth of struggles, I wondered what life is without him.


He wore the crown of my affection and was ruler of my heart.


What's life without him?


He was my flower in the spring. My sunshine on rainy days.


Again, what's life without him?


His gaze on me was where the sun always chose to reflect-


P R I C E L E S S.


Again, what's life without him?


He was my king. I, his queen.


He ruled the kingdom of my soul,

His hands held my heart


I wonder, will he ever give it back?


Or did he squeeze it, draining it of it's life's wine?


He was the King after-all. A King's actions are not questionable.


'Tear streaked eyes, blurry vision,


Words fail me. Words-

Words fail-

WORDS FAIL ME.


So in this moment will i set aside this pen, close this chapter,


To write again when my tears no longer stain these verses.
