day three: pyrrhic

pyrrhic
won at too great a cost
- - -
A set of eyes watching you dully. Lifelessly. You met their stare unflinchingly.

Is it worth it?”

Is it worth the pain? The tears? The betrayals?

The emptiness that grows bigger every day you have to live with what you’ve done?

The hard, cold truth that you have crossed the line?

“Yes.”

Because you can’t afford anything else.

Because the only way you can keep moving forward is to believe wholeheartedly that this is all worth it.

(Revenge best served cold, they said. They never told about the part where the coldness will seep into your being, leaves you numb.)
