Holding it Together

I watched as the note burned into nothing more than ashes. I realized I was shattered, I was broken; I wanted to run after you so you would take me back. I closed my eyes and tried to pull myself together, because I knew you were going to be happier, that was all I ever wanted you to be. I opened my eyes and got up from the ground and started to walk the lonely path you’ve abandoned me on. Only to hear you fighting with your new girlfriend moments after I leave. I couldn’t understand why you would say you need more, that I wasn’t enough. I slowly walked to a clearing in a field and I pull out the pin that holds up my hair. I looked at it closely watching it glint in the moon light. Reading the engraving you wrote on it for me, “I love you babe 4ever and everâ€?. I placed it on a small rock I found. I took off te locket and placed it next to the hair pin. I took off every piece of jewlery that you gave me the earrings, and the bracelets everything. I pulled out a piece of paper and scribble down a note for you.
