“He Doesn't Know” by Claudia Jerome

Submitted to Contest #28

I have so many secrets, bursting inside of me. He doesn't know that I love him endlessly. He doesn't know that I was madly in love with him for at least a year before we even started hanging out, outside of work.

“Ben.” by Claudia Jerome

Submitted to Contest #28

It's ironic how the mind works. In no time someone will have you thinking you're in love. Or was it me who made myself believe that? Regardless, I was there.I was heartbroken from the start. One week in, he cheated. It may not have actually been cheating though. He was still living with her and carrying on a relationship with her. She was confused about my role and needed me to back off. Pfft. A couple of months in this same "ex" tells me he is still legally married to a different woman; this turned out to be true too. He swore it ...
