Cold as a corpse she waded though the light with darkness in her eyes. She sat facing the wall. She stared at it as if waiting for it to heal her. Her face sank into the fold of her arms and her body shook. She darkened the room that she now belonged to with her weak sobs and shaking body. Had it once been filled with light? Had she ever seen light? She did not know. She had loved and it was love that had slowly killed her. Filling her with darkness until there was nothing.
The love that was her poison tore her apart. An awful tearing sound to haunt her forever. The air in her lungs turned to ice stabbing at every attempt to breathe. She turned to him in her agony and she gazed upon him knowing he was gone. He had never been hers.
He stood to leave and as he did he looked down at her with his piercing eyes. She said nothing.
