The Truth Of It All

"She was beautiful. She truly was. That dark skin that brightened everytime we stepped out in the sun. Her curly hair blowing lightly when the car window was down. Her motherly scent which consisted of vanilla and ginger lingering in my nose as a way to remember. Her last touch when I melted into her arms as a goodbye for when she left to go to the store. Her sweet voice telling me to set the table ready for dinner when she comes back. I did what she told me to do and neatly as possible. The rest of my family expecting the door to open as we sit in the family room watching CNN news.
I never knew she was going to never come back... nor did I ever see her murder coming that night."
