The casual betrayals finally caused the walls of this once-secured bond to crumble into million pieces. The lies, the pinpricks of jabs and harmless insults, the disloyalties that were supposed to be inconsequential became the culprit – and if asked as to what caused the break-up, one would be hard pressed to point to a specific event, place, or memory. It just finally became too overwhelming, too much. Suddenly, as if drained with life, the heart gave in. Suddenly, the eyes that have seen too much hurt refused to see. Suddenly, just like that, the lights went off, and the silence that follows is a comfort that soothes and the darkness a warm embrace. Suddenly, a vacuum have sucked the vitality and the attraction that was already fragile from the start. Now, bereft, stunned – a look of puzzlement comes fleetingly. Now, relieved, as if a burden far too heavy, carried and endured all these times is lifted.
