Lost in the Dark
I looked up
and he was gone.
Lies began seeping
into the snapshots
of our everyday.
He once said that
pure love is pure gray;
Gray knowing black and white.
Now I wonder
which color had I been,
and had he found
another palette?
I remember nights ago,
awaiting sleep
his whispers echoed
from the bathroom.
He wasn't crazy, I knew.
He was in love with the person
on the other line.
My sobs matched his,
as he clung to the phone.
The only difference,
separated by thin walls,
was that I had
no audience.
