Your words, they burn, and the crackling embers sear my once beating heart. All you say is truths, I know, but for once All I prayed for was a lie. Eyelids, fluttering softly over waterfalls of tears. I stifle it all and force a smile, though behind these tired eyes, beneath that plastered smile, there is defeat. You speak, your raspy voice offering a logic I can never refute. Trembling, as a brittle autumn leaf in the breeze, I collect myself.

She had wanted, needed, to feel something and she went too far. She could do nothing but wait. So that's what she did...

And as silence continually enveloped her, all sense of self worth began to fade. Laughter became empty, smiles; hollow. Every passing day began to turn into one perpetual nightmare. She became less trusting, building back up the wall that had been broken through. Searching through empty minutes for something, anything to feel. Anything that wasn't the sorrow she knew. Everyone living their lives and going on like always, she tried.. She cried. The simple pleasures became empty and she just
