"he never loved you"
is what the voice
in her head
told her
he never admitted he loved her
he never came forward
the haunting truth
soaked the walls
and twisted any past
memories of him
she moved on
and smiled through the pain
it was better than
the darkness that consumed her
when her thoughts
lingered to long on him
oh, how she loathed him
and loved him
at the same time
