it doesn't matter she said
you never cared
he was wordless
he felt dead
inside
but she was wrong
and couldn't know
for his despair
how wrong
because
she made a career
of running
and she ran from him
far enough away
he could scream
and no one would hear
but he was sure
some day
somewhere
someone would
and then
the echoes
against the empty walls
would drive him
mad
and that was all
he could handle
without disintegrating
losing his mind
