You

Frantic heartbeat

Pale-ing

Impaling

Then deep breaths

a moment with guard down

Then a voice,

that familiar voice

its normality

shocking because,

it is so usual

so everyday-like

but strikes hard anyway

Then a squeak

Then a deep breath

A barrage of words

unstoppable

Awkward silence

because their earpiece won't hold

simultaneous dialogue

And then simultaneous silence

All the while

a rapid, beating heart

A quick goodbye

Then

Shatter

Broken

Already missing him,

that wimp.
