(Patreon) SoBroetry: Bitter Indignation

"For all I thought was so beautiful had become bitter indignation."

She flinched at my touch.
I reached for her hand, and she withdrew it.
21 months together, and yet, I repulsed her.
I didn’t understand why.

“What are we even doing here? We might as well just be friends.”
I couldn’t help but let my frustration…my desperation…boil over.
The purr of her car filled the silence.
The glow of a street light illuminated blank stares.

Weeks passed.
I thought we could work our way through it.
I saw her twice over the course of a month.
Drastically less than our more playful days.

When I saw her again, there were no happy greetings.
I didn’t want to let go.
But, it was apparent the choice wasn’t mine to make.
“What are we doing here?” I asked.

She flicked her cigarette, and peered at me with a resentful gaze.
For all I thought was so beautiful
Had become bitter indignation.
“You said it yourself. We might as well just be friends.”

And, there was coldness behind her eyes.
And it’s a feeling that you cannot understand unless you’ve felt it too.
At a time when you know it’s over.
The moment has passed, and what once was is no longer.

We’re taught to fight for love.
To never give up.
But, nothing prepares you for that moment
When you realize there’s nothing left to even fight for.
