Love is such a fickle word. One minute your in "love" And the next your crying your eyes out over someone who made you feel like nothing.
That's the way she felt, Yana, I mean. She fell in love with Vlad; fell in love with a man who cared more about his pride than a woman attached to his hip. He didnt care nor did he ever actually give a damn about the poor girl's feelings.
Vlad strung her along like a headless chicken hooked to a butcher's hook. He strung her up and bled her dry. Bled her dry of every ounce of passion and love she could muster for the world. He took her dreams and smashed it under his foot as if it was all a pointless plea.
Yet she, she just smiled innocently like a clueless newborn, not wanting to let his boot crush her or his words faze her. Yet an innocent girl can only take so much damage to her heart before everything begins to break. She was dying inside and there was nothing anyone could do to try and save her.
Yana would walk the streets were the two used to roam, arm looped over arm. Laughing, smiling, hugging. And yet, he never once kissed her or told her he loved her. She would say it but never once got it in return.
You would have thought by then she'd have realized that he was just using her, toying with her, almost to the point she would never love another man ever again.
But love is a fickle being; you get strung along until nothings left. Broken and shattered you lie on your bed staring at the ceiling thinking there is no hope left for you in the world. Love brings people together and yet tears them so easily apart.
This day was different however, Yana wouldn't make it through the day without her heart being stabbed by knives of heartache. There in the reflection of the glass of the cafe they once explored, she saw Vlad staring loving at another woman, looking at her in a way he never once looked at Yana. And Yana realized then, she had finally lost.
Yana's heart died that day on the nearly empty sidewalk.
