It's Over
Tarah Toney
The words ring out against the silence
I press my ear into the phone and hold my
breath
I can hear the steady rise and fall of you
breathing
You aren't saying anything
You aren't protesting
You aren't pleading
Fine, you say, as if I had suggested pizza for
lunch
The kitchen begins to spin and I clutch the
counter
The tiny diamond on my left hand suddenly
weighs ten pounds
I remove the weight and remember the day we
said forever
And the heat of rage quickens my pulse
unexpectedly
I didn't want this to end
I wanted you to wake up
Wake up and remember52
