I could still make out those crazed, emerald eyes through my obscured vision, distorted by the uncontrollable torrent of tears. I glared up at the man who had taken everything important from me, all in the name of what he called "love". If only I could move I would tear out those demented eyes of his for shattering my world... I should have never let this psycho into my life.
