A Break-Up With No Make-Up

When phone calls lasted all night

When silence spoke volumes

When boundaries were slightly crossed

When absence was a thing of the past

When trust took no effort

When everything seemed next to perfect

When that three-word phrase made so much sense

When forever seemed like the only way

When life seemed so complete


Then the phone stopped ringing

Then silence was unbearable

Then there were no boundaries to cross

Then absence was clearly present

Then trust was as hard as Algebra

Then everything was riddled with errors

Then those three words were illegible

Then forever was just a word

Then life was torn apart
