Do You Love Me?

“Do you need me?”



     -She stood in his arms,

     -Warm, comfortable, happy.

     -She had everything she wanted,

     -And he was there with her.



“No.”



     -What? He must be joking.

     -She looked into his eyes.

     -No, no sparkle, no teasing,

     -Just a deep sorrow there.



“Do you want me?”



     He did, more than anything.

     Needed her, wanted her,

     Didn’t want to live without her.

     But he had to answer.



“No.”



     Her eyes welled up,

     She turned to face him.

     He had to do this,

     He waited for the next question.



“Do you love me?”



     -Her tears were falling freely.

     How can he do this to her?

     -How can he do this to her?

     He must stick to his choice.

     -She loves him, she wants him.

     She will be better off,

     -What did she do?

     He can’t hurt her anymore.

     -We’ve been through so much.

     He has to answer, he has to do it.



“No.”



     -WHAT?

     He stepped out the door.

     -No…

     And out of her life.
