Words I didn't say.

''I'm sorry.''

''I love you,''

''Please, don't leave me.''

''You are the only one I have.''

My thoughts screamed as you turned your back on me, leaving me alone in the silence-filled house. I watched as you slammed the door, heard the roar of your car's engine, and with that you were gone. Your destination I was unaware of. I gave you all my love, my everything and, now I've lost the only one I have; the only one keeping me sane.

Tears pricked my eyes as I realized I was now completely alone without anyone to love or to be loved from. The voices got loud, I got up retracing my steps before you came. The creak of the stairs accompanied me upstairs and I walked into the room that had been prepared for this day.

One foot.

Two feet, now placed on the chair holding my body as I grabbed the rope and placed it on my neck. I closed my eyes shut and remembered the days of happiness and love, where you and I would be the road engraving our memories as we walked hand-in-hand towards the beach.

I tightened the rope and pulled it, all this happened because of the words I didn't say.
