Pain in a short story.

The tears streamed down her beautiful face, in all it's coldness, her voice thick with emotion.
"How could you do this to me" she tried to stop the catch in her voice and the tears continued to fall faster than she could shake them off. Her dark brown eyes were transfixed upon his face, her hands balled into fists tight enough to draw blood from her palms
"How....could....you....do...this......TO MEEEEE!!!"
She wanted to slap him but his return gaze told her that would do nothing but raise their emotional tension even further.
"I did it" he whispered "I never meant to....but...I did it. I told you. You didn't listen. I begged you. You didn't listen. I tried everything within my power to make us....beautiful. And you shattered my hopes, you twisted your knife in my heart. What did you think I would do" The cold steel in his eyes returned her gaze without compassion. "You brought this on yourself. You know it"
"I love you" she looked down, still unable to stop the flow of her tears. "I always loved you. I tried to show you the only way I knew how. You betrayed me more than once. You hurt me like no one has ever hurt me before. How could you do this to me? What did I ever do to you?"
He reached out and caressed her waist length black hair, then pulled her chin up so they stared at each other once again. "You got so deep inside me. I let you in. I let you in like I haven't allowed in countless years that seemed like yesterday. I told you to keep me warm. I told you about devotion. I begged you to satiate my hunger. I showed you what makes me salivate, I shared the inner essence of everything I had. We were united in pleasure and divided in pain. Now all that we have left will be this memory to remain....this is what we are now"
Her hand wiped away the last tear that he was never supposed to see, she stared in his eyes and in the coldest voice he ever heard her voice no longer wavering "4 years...and there is only one thing I have to say to you. Fuck you, and I wish I never met you"
As she drove away and he looked at her for the very last time in his life, he collapsed into a state of oblivion as he felt her pain....through the echoes of the memories in his head.
