“It’s over now.” Your words are acid.
“But why?” My mind spins like a top.
“We’ve grown apart,” is your lie.
Tears flow, but only mine.
Hollow words echo
that I can’t hear.
“I’m sorry.”
But you’re
not.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
