Her eyes swollen with regret
Lips -- quiver with lies
Hands shiver from droplets of cold salted tears
Begging -- she falls to her knees
She cries "You must believe me. I have loved you with all my heart and my soul knows no one but you. You must believe me!"
He stands frozen by their bedroom wall.
She cries even harder "I can't live knowing you don't see me anymore. You are my universe and everything beyond what is real in this life. Please. Don't go."
And as he moved his lips about to say someth-..., she wakes up from the dream her mind collected from frames that so often haunt her days.
And she knew that she had already said too much. Felt too much. Shared too much. Showed too much. Fell too hard.
