You had me at 'hello'

You had me

falling

for you,

at

'hello'.

And

You had me

loving

you,

at

'how are you?'

31.7.2020

Walking down the street became impossible without tripping and dropping my shopping bags, when I saw your face.

"Hello." You said it so casually as you walked, but then I tripped on my heels. You stopped walking, turned around, and picked up my heart from where it had rolled to your feet.

you had me

at

hello.

your voice was

sugar,

but as i

learned later

on,

sweetness

can

be artificial.

conversation

came easily,

but there

was always

a

smidge

of malice,

a need

to

gossip,

using

your words

to cut

others

up like

knives.

you

blindfolded

me,

spinning

lies and misdirection

into a

glistening

spider's

web.

you

abandoned

me,

for

someone

'better'

but made

sure to

leave

your

mark.

sometimes

i lie

awake

at night,

your

acrid

giggles

bouncing

around my mind,

haunted

by

that

fateful

greeting.

You had me at hello.

You lost me at good bye.

You had me at come back.

You lost me at I'm leaving.

You had me at I'm sorry.

But you lost me forever at I'm done.

You had me at "hello." You were nothing special those dark brown almost black eyes like a pit that I would gladly fall into. The way your fluffy curly brown hair bounced whenever you approached me and that beautifully sinister smile that graced your features matched the bloodlust I could feel emitting from you. Yes, you had me at hello but you kept me the moment you tried to kill me.
