Wide Awake

Broken Hearts

Broken hearts? She had enough to last her for a lifetime. Twice was enough to convince her that she'd never give her heart to someone else ever again. Should she be approached, she'll turn them down. She didn't want her heart to suffer anymore. Yes, she wanted to be loved, to be with somebody who would light up her darkness but she was just too lost after that. She felt like she had no hope at all. Nothing was left for her. She just wanted to be alone and to be left alone. That's all she wanted with life after it was cruel towards her.

"Can I hold your hand?" someone asked.

Tyche looked up at her. She was beautiful. Light golden hair brushed against her shoulder as she stood in front of her. The sandy brown of her eyes and the rainbow pearls in it seemed to shine as the sun met them. Her smile was so gentle and warm.

She crouched down in front of Tyche and slowly stroked her cheek. "I'm Sharon."

She was scared to reach out to her. What if it happened all over again? What if she too leaves? She didn't want that. Not a third time. Not ever again...... But Sharon just gave off this golden hue as she smiled at her. It made her reach out and hold her.

Sharon's voice was like melody to her ears. She wanted to hold her hand.

Tyche reached out and held her hand. It was warm and reassuring. Sharon smiled at her like she had known Tyche all her life. "Promise me you won't leave," Tyche said as she stared into her eyes. She wanted her to stay and be by her side. Sharon leaned in and kissed her forehead. "I won't."

Her heart had once again fallen for someone. Yes, she was scared. Scared that history might repeat itself but she wanted to trust herself one last time and she just hoped she is right this time.....
