The Night He Chose The Bottle

[Glimmer]

I smiled on the way home,
heart light with plans he never noticed.
But the moment the cap twisted,
I lost him again —
to the glass, to the laughter of strangers.

I sat beside a man I love,
and felt more alone than silence itself.
Every sip was a promise undone,
every laugh a crack in my chest.

He’ll forget tonight by morning.
I’ll remember it in pieces —
the sting, the shame, the quiet question:
Why am I the only one hurting
for a love we both swore to protect?

This silent loneliness is the most unbearable. The emptiness of not being able to find someone even when you are nearby is heavier than all the crowds.
