As the sun rose high over the low-banked clouds in the eastern sky, and the calls of gulls filled the air, a the warships sailed into port. A woman stood among the crowd that gather at the docks as the gangplank was lowered. One by one, the soldiers trudged off the ship, and she waited for him. For each and every ship that anchored, through the entire day and well into the night, she waited. And still, he did not come.
Forgetting never seemed so hard.
Remember your eyes, your smile, your laugh.
Remember your touch, your scent, your warmth.
Remember the way you held me in your arms,
Like we would never be apart.
But it was all a lie.
Yes, forgetting never seemed to hard.
Thirst for blood, thirst for vengeance. Thirst to ring my hands around your beautiful, elegant neck. Thirst to pay you back for all the fighting and the cheating, all the lies. Thirst to make you regret every last one you ever told me. I will quench my thirst with your cries for mercy, for forgiveness, which will forever go unslaked.
They cannot be trusted. They with their plastic noses, and falsely colored hair. They with their knives of lies that stab the backs of thousands. They with their high heels, and skirts that barely pass as clothing. They with their words that sting like the fire of hell. They with their fancy cars, and million dollar homes. They with their fibs and falsehoods, meant only to tear you asunder… They cannot be trusted.

The digital clock stares back at you, its glowing gaze bearing a whole into your weary mind. 4:00 a.m... So many thoughts, piercing regrets penetrating your brain. The bed is empty as you lie in it, the familiar sound of a lover breathing and the feel of it on your chest is gone. But you wished for that, didn’t you? You wouldn’t have left her if you didn’t. You wouldn’t be unable to sleep because of her if you did… But here your are, unable to sleep…Because of her. Every minute without her turns into hours. And so you turn your head from that digital and lie awake for what feels like hours. You face the clock again.
4:01 a.m.
