I lay in my bed of roses staring at the ceiling above me. The light from the candles flicker casting morphing shadows.
Dancing and moving. The shadows turning into the monsters behind my eyelids.
Laughing at my misfortune. My body lays emotionless while inside I'm screaming, tossing, and turning. Clawing at the air while the shadows reach for me. Dragging me towards the darkest corners of my room.
I blinked and it's just my regular room. The shadows no longer dance and pull at me. Their turbulent bodies dripping black liquor onto the floor.
I turn to the side, and suddenly you're next to me. As if you never had left, and a smile ghosts it's way onto my features.
"Sarah, I love you."
My heart skipped a beat hearing those words again. I reached out to touch your cheek, but you vanished beneath my finger tips.
Tears sprang to my eyes as the bitter sweet moment shattered. My soul crushed by a dream I could no longer reach for.
I clutched my shirt needing something that felt real. As if I wasn't going insane from losing the one I truly loved. With all my heart and soul.
A long lost fairy tale of the past. Lost to the pain. Gone with the memories.
