Me,myself and my pride (6-4)

“Just leave me alone I want to cry.” I say to her as I cross the street into the park. I shove my hands inside my pockets and make my way to the side walk. She never misses a step she stays right next to me.

“Crying is the last thing you need to be doing right now.”

I let my head drop and my eyes walk over the ground. “What do you want?”
I ask as I disappear into the woods I want so badly to escape into the woods and never be heard from again.

“Talk to me.” She says watching me. She shows no effort in keeping pace with me.

“Why, so you can rub it in my face that you were right?” I ask shooting a glance at her.

“You know I wouldn’t do that.” She says softly cupping my ear. I slow my pace and look at her. Her eyes tell me all the comfort I need. She speaks again “You have lost so much, but you still have your pen. You will always have me by your side.”
I softly shake my head in defeat.

“I should of listened to you.” I start to walk again, this time but at a slower pace. She starts to walk with me and smiles.

“you were in love it’s okay.”

“I gave her my heart and soul, what happened? What did I do wrong? What did I not say to her?”

She shakes her head and reaches out to rub mine. “nothing…you see what she did with them.”

I sigh and fight back tears. “I thought you said you wouldn’t rub it in.”

She quickly frowns. “I’m not, I’m telling you what she did, so you don’t as well give her your pen tomorrow. Now your pen is free. Write all the time, all you want. Never again let her stop you. If you give her your pen to show your love it will end up broken like your heart, and buried like your soul.” I look up into the sky and search for the tears I feel coming. She takes hold of my hand and speaks. “You were in love and you paid the price. But you live to write about it. I’ll be right here.”
She says as she squeezes my hand.
