The Affair

Is it nobler of mind to suffer fortunes outrageous slings of arrows?

By Fujiko CulturePublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Her was his toy,

His entertainment,

A distraction away from the fact that the woman he loved most was not loving him back in the way that he needed.

He swallowed his emotions and told himself he was happy for the sake of his family.

A consequence of his upbringing.

He killed himself for his love of others.

A dead man walking,

He found Her,

A victim,

The prey of dead men who wanted to feast on her life.

And he was hungry.....

To do anything to avoid the truth,

Choosing instead to split himself.

Instead of telling his first what he wanted and needed.......perhaps because she was too preoccupied with her own secrets to notice that he was gone.

And he knew..

As she knew..

But chose instead to sleep in separate bedrooms.

Her and Him were just pawns in the game of a pair that were content to stay together feasting on lives of others as that was the only option of their upbringing.

Leaving the time for loneliness to come and fuck, suck, and lick the happy lovers in the way they should do with each other.

But Her.....the loneliness killer.....decided to kill herself rather than die in a murder-suicide.

The mirror shattered, struck by Justice's bullet.

It's time to wake up now. It's time to break the cycle.

Who has to know when we live such fragile lives?

It's the best way we survive.......I'll keep you my dirty little secret. Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret. -All American Rejects
