The apartment sits heavy with the hour, the only light a sickly grey from the city outside. My silhouette is rigid, hands clenched at my sides before I sweep a glass off the coffee table. It shatters against the far wall. 'That's it, you. I'm done. This is over. It never worked.' I see your eyes go wide, then glisten, tears threatening to spill. Your heart feels like it's tearing in two; all you wanted was for us to be okay. 'What did I do?' you manage, voice cracking. 'I love you, Drew.' The words leave my mouth like stones. 'Everything. You're terrible. I don't love you.' I don't look back as I grab my jacket and leave, slamming the door so hard the frame rattles, sealing you inside with the silence and the broken glass.
