when her world
fell apart
i was the only
thing she willingly
sacrificed
and all i can do
is hope it made
things better

if this were
the first time
i was the easiest
stress removed
i would be met
with great sorrow
instead i realize
i am transient
despite flowery
phrases muttered

the great sorrow
still pulsates
but i cannot be
surprised at how
quickly i was
abandoned when i
seem to have an
already intangible
heartchasm not
worth attempting
to navigate
