Prompt 2 “He will not see me stopping here”

The end is ugly
Often predictable and heartbreaking
Everything can be done in a different way and still fail
My heart creates space by building a room
Offering him a place to stay for a little while
I need to think about my choices
So I wander
“He will not see me stopping here”
I don’t even know why my mind even cares
I lost many meaningful photographs before
That held sweet reminders of a time before now
I realize the earth will still revolve
Without my interaction
This mind keeps replaying all the times I overtalked
Shared my almosts
Gave him signs that something was wrong within me
Now I’ve returned to this place of reference
That points to more death
Recasting myself
As someone bigger than these feelings

Relationships are not always forever
