Betrayed by those she trusted and those she loved.
Her body lies lifeless on the bank of truth and bewilderment; the raw and painful burning that lingers as she is forced to re-live that moment; like that person and that instant exists permanently within her, regardless of how far she walks.
A profound emptiness weighing down her heart giving the illusion she were bound to this world for a tormented endlessness.
Tortured by the sharp blades of those stronger who had scarred her so deeply; she shuddered as she traced the lines of betrayal that marked her.
Within the hollow of her heart, there lies an unwritten story.
A story of triumph entwined with anguish and loss; laced with an ecstasy of highs and a book of dark memories and secrets even she fear to read.
Life’s moments paled as she viewed the world through her stained glasses; defiled by the suffocating grasp that her past had around her throat.
Pages would turn but still the black ink of all that had been; would seep through the parchment, staining the now, poisoning the good and obscuring the future.
How could she continue to write this story when the past kept flooding through?
Taking her back to those nights when part of her soul was stolen from her.
The darkness creeps over again, hanging over her head like a promise of an end soon to come.
A darkness she has become all too comfortable with.
She treads across the Earth, knocking on doors, searching for souls...searching for light.
All the while knowing that although her wounds may heal, no time will heal the scars left behind from the fight.
