All I saw when I closed my eyes were hers. Those big brown eyes that made it so you would never escape from the quicksand they behold. Yet when I closed my eyes I could also see her smile and I could hear her laugh like ringing bells. Her hands when they reached out to pull me up... I thought she was the light of my life but she was the darkness. She acted like the princess but she was really the dragon. She seemed like an angel but she was truly the devil. To fight is all we have, when you don't even know who you're up against, to avoid letting go of what essence you have left of the life you're living.
