we used to talk so much you and i,
now the halls are empty, quiet, and meaningless,
i genuinely think i could shout and you wouldn’t even bat an eye.
what happened to us?
smiling faces watch me from the mantle. our faces.
it was our wedding day, the “happiest day of our lives” they said, but i thought that would not be the limit with you.
turns out the cake smashing, laughing, smiling, person i thought you were much preferred fleshy contact to using your words.
“why would i waste breath talking to you when you wouldn’t understand what I’m saying anyway? this is for you and you know that. it’s out of love.”
well honey, it might surprise you to know that the “new recipe” i tried out tonight for dinner to bring back our spark and have a nice homemade meal had a special ingredient.
hm, you didn’t taste it? well dear, it was poison! it should be hitting you, right about…now! well then, that should take care of that. screw divorce, this gets me the insurance money, and you always did look good in earth tones.
how does a patch on the family plot sound? cat got your tongue? no matter, i’ve already taken care of it all. just lay your head back and let the darkness come, i’ve always liked how i looked in black much better than white anyhow.
