untitled

when you spoke those words to me
my heart stopped
nausea at my throat
my eyes stung with tears

betrayal......

.....selfish betrayal
silence

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...

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
