True Heart Break

we laid down next to eachother on the soft bed

and stared at the ceiling in silence.

i looked over at you and couldn't stop

the smile that sprang from my lips.

my heart beat slowed when you looked at me somberly,

not even the hint of a smile playing in your eyes.

i caressed the ring on your finger

and put it on my own.

your face displayed a pain like i had never seen before;

a pain i imagine only on a dying man.

you looked at me with rivers in your eyes

and said you made a mistake.
