Good riddance he whispered as she chucked her shoes at his face

She wanted me to break it, to tear her heart to shreds.

She begged me for it.

Pleading for me to destroy the little of her that remained.

She stumbled and ranted in a drunken stupor.

Alcohol seeping from every pore vomit lingering on her breath.

All beauty that I once saw has become nothing more than a bitter aftertaste.

Lost in the bottom of the bottle.

I left her screaming

Strung out

Barefoot

Clothes barely hanging on to her

I left her there

Never turning back

Never responding to her insults

Only wondering

What happened to the innocent girl I once loved?

I left her there

After giving her four years

And I didn't even shed a tear.
