<html> <p>Genuflect. That's what I wanted to do. Bow down. Or crawl. Kiss the ground beneath her. Soften it for whatever was to come, for she, from now on, would face it without me. But instead I stood. Straight. Eye contact held.</p> <p>"You're a fucking asshole." </p> <p>Was I? I wanted out. Didn't I have the right? Or am I being selfish? I made the decision. Apathy would not fester like a poison.</p> <p>"You said you would always be there for me? Huh? Was that a lie?"</p> <p>Eyes watered. She searched for emotion. But I had no tell. The lambast continued. If she only knew. I wanted to hold her. To heal. How much pain. If she only... the words continued. Let her vent.</p> <p>The sun was going down. The night was beginning. I opened the door. She sat on the bed. </p> <p>The relationship was over.</p> <p><img src="https://s22.postimg.org/vgrcyghox/walk_839525_1280.jpg" width="720" height="1280"/> </p> </html>
