Boomerang

Silence. The most deafening sound lit up his eardrums like the 4th of July as he watched the door slam shut while a huge gust of wind slapped him in the face. The fighting was over. The screaming and yelling and the sound of broke dishes flying all over the apartment. It was all over. She was gone. Complete…silence.

She had threatened to leave many times before, but this time he knew without a reasonable doubt she wasn’t coming back. But he deserved it. Oh man did he deserve it. Through the silence he could hear everything. As every argument played over and over in his head like an old school Walkman stuck on repeat. And it wasn’t just every argument with HER.. no. He played every one over and over. Every single relationship. Every fight. Every argument. Every single time THEY left.

Being such a self centered cocky asshole as some would call it.. he finally realized why this one hurt the most. Why this one penetrated so deep into his heart that he didn’t even know was leftover. It was karma. That ugly 5 letter word explained it all. For all the times he treated his previous flings like absolute dirt, it finally came back to him. And boy did it hurt. And nothing hurt worse than that boomerang coming back ten times worse than before. But he deserved it, and he knows it. For he was the one who threw that…boomerang.
