she laid there in silence as the life she once knew seemed only a dream. the eyes she starred into her entire life weren't familiar. they know a world that has never been met. the visions they brought overwhelmed a vessel not ready for the truth. she scoops them from their sockets and lies them next to the shatters of a dreaded reflection. her fingers traced the ground, longing for the warmth of the two arms she missed the most. memories of a rose flooded her feeble mind. the scent of its skin lingered in her lungs. the petals whispered lies as they raced to touch the grass. she would wilt as the flower did so many years ago. alone. with nothing to feel but the cold gravel ripping her fingers to shreds.
