She stole his heart out of his chest.
Genre: Tragedy
He could never be himself for very long.
For years he thought she loved him most.
Darkness descended upon her last glimmer of hope.
His rapier wit cut most sharply on himself.
He tried desperately, but failed to love her.
He held the opposite of her heart’s delight.
His heart grew three full sizes and burst.
“And that’s why Mommy doesn’t love you anymore.”
He laughed often and much, but loved little.
She loved more than time or sense allowed.
She cried and whined her way to loneliness.
He believed in forgiveness but not for them.
He unabashedly took all credit for her failure.
He ignored a land of beauty and wonder.
He watched the news but never went outside.
An apple a day kept him from her.
Her life was never worth what he’d pay.
The Lego horse never romped or played again.
The little girl commanded legions of army men.
