It Burns...

Her eyes misted over. Her throat became dry. She tried to be strong. She tried not to cry.
Her lips began to tremble. Her body began to ache. She tried to smile, but her smile was fake.
She tried to pretend. She tried to carry on. How could the right decision feel so wrong?
The pain submersed her body like acid to the skin. Slowly eroding away, except deep from within.
She knew she had hurt him, She knew he felt the same. It hurt even more to know of his pain.
She was careless. She was thoughtless. She was losing her mind. He was upset. He was angry and so neither were kind.
Two lost souls empty and broken, doomed to suffer an inevitable fate, their poison their only remedy.
