when you spoke those words to me
my heart stopped
nausea at my throat
my eyes stung with tears
as thick as smoke
smothers me
all at once
my heart is pounding in my chest
my lungs are filled with air
my head is screaming
my throat is dry
my eyes...
standing on the edge of
decision
so
we must
make a choice
my heart stopped
nausea at my throat
my eyes stung with tears
betrayal......
.....selfish betrayal
silenceas thick as smoke
smothers me
all at once
my heart is pounding in my chest
my lungs are filled with air
my head is screaming
my throat is dry
my eyes...
my eyes are open
and for good or bad
here we are
standing on the edge of
decision
so
we must
make a choice

That's some pretty powerful stuff. My heart was racing by the time i got to the end. Very vivid with pure emotion. Except for the 'betrayal' part, what you wrote is exactly what i feel i'm going thru right now...wow
Reading this felt like being captured in the moment. The impression left is intense.
