Tsuki's POV
Lying almost lifelessly, I blankly stare at the stone floor as I feel empty inside. Neck aching, I ignore my necessary needs as I continue to shutdown. My eyes are dry as my cheeks are raw with dry tears. On the floor beside me is a small, pitiful puddle of my tears. Heartbreak, that's what it is.

The man I loved for years just accused me of using him and he basically threw me away like a piece of trash. Useless trash, that's what I am. Nobody wants me and I'm just a waste of space.

Motionless on the cold floor, I lie here with no significant purpose. I already helped Sasuke with his goal. I kept Naruto alive, even though it almost cost me my life. As for Sakura, I guess she can have Sasuke now since he doesn't need me anymore. Doesn't want me, I should say.

Is this how I'm suppose to feel when I've succeeded with my dream? Am I suppose to feel empty, like I'm slowly dying? Like I've been stabbed a thousand times through the heart? Am I suppose to feel like a kicked dog, like someone who lost everything?

Because if so, I never want to dream again. Dreams, that's something you hope for, something that happens when you're asleep. How can I sleep, Sasuke's gone and he kept the nightmares away.

I guess nightmares are all I live for now.

Still lying on the floor, I feel a sense that I haven't felt in a long time. Depression, the familiar feeling runs through my veins once again. It never left, but it wasn't as strong as it is now. Fatigue hits me like a wave, adding weight to my limbs and making my body feel a lot heavier than usual. My chest aches, but more specifically, my heart. The sharp pain wells tears in my momentarily dry eyes. With every beat of my broken heart, it makes me ignore the physical pain I'm in.
(Quick Sketch).

I ignore everything

I ignore everything.

The pain.

The world.

My life.

I just continue staring at the floor as the longing seconds tick by. I don't know how long I lie here, but to me, lying on this floor feels like a soft, blissful cloud. Unfortunately, reality seems to hate me because it reminds me of why I'm here.

Sasuke.

Lying here, the memories of us, every moment, keeps reeling through my mind, stabbing my heart again. Silent tears escape my eyes as a reminder that I'll never experience any of that again.
