Broken

Remi

For a moment, I thought I had it all.

I thought we could be us, together, out in the open. That I could hold her hand and kiss his lips and not have to hide in the shadows.

I was wrong.

It would have been better if I’d never tasted their love at all.

The loss of it, once it was in my grasp, shattered me, body and soul.

I take little pleasure in knowing I did the same to them.
