Emotions Poem by Amber McCalment

He takes a deep breath.
as i sit there waiting
the truth unspoken,
our emotions degrading.
hungry for words
but nothing being said
scared to look up
to the truth ahead.
tears streaming down
warm and salty
heartbeat racing
i can the horrific sound.

and suddenly, he looks up.
his face distraught, burning with pain.
fingers trembling and eyes so swollen.
he puts his hands on my arm, and i cry again.
he stand up to leave the room,
then stops to look at me,
he says, 'i'm sorry.'

and then he leaves.
