She said he was smart<\/p>\n
He just didn’t know it.<\/p>\n
She shared stories about how they met<\/p>\n
about one blue rose and\u00a0their song<\/p>\n
In a\u00a0photo album<\/p>\n
the blue rose was pressed on the first page<\/p>\n
She said he was her love story<\/p>\n
Afterwards<\/p>\n
He stumbles in with no explanation<\/p>\n
His movement are robotic from smoking fluid dipped cigars.<\/p>\n
He paces\u00a0back and forth<\/p>\n
like a confused dog<\/p>\n
Reeking of alcohol<\/p>\n
he attempts to fight her<\/p>\n
The broken energy pulls her away<\/p>\n
He throws blurbs of conscious insults<\/p>\n
conflicting her earlier words<\/p>\n
halting her breath<\/p>\n
He separates conversation<\/p>\n
stiffens shadows<\/p>\n
As her embarrassment stands congregating<\/p>\n
I was afraid to look her in the face<\/p>\n
He was exposed and<\/p>\n
Peeled her love story\u00a0apart<\/p>\n
I can’t walk away<\/p>\n
and leave her story<\/p>\n
bare and burning<\/p>\n
like she was<\/p>\n
Angrily\u00a0he leaves out<\/p>\n
slams the door<\/p>\n
An\u00a0hour later he returns<\/p>\n
Gentle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
