empty glass

Deckard
did I hear the sound of a breaking heart
as he finally reached the top of the 39 stairs
seeing the note taped to the door
just above the peep hole
a long pause
a fumbling of the keys
I knew she had left
I could hear her earlier
sobbing
she'd had enough
she was much younger 
and there were years ahead
they had spoken of how this could happen
many years ago
rather, he had spoken and she had laughed it off
today she realized he was right
today her glass remains half full
and his has emptied
did I hear the sound of something muffled by a pillow?
