Rotten On Us

Can pain come so suddenly?
It is a hard emotion to fake, but Emma did? That's what everyone said and what everyone believed. But she didn't want to. She was normal in every way, and she'd stay normal.
She faked the opposite in fact, and everyone believed that! No-one ever looked into her eyes. She wanted them too, she wanted her eyes to speak for her, but they let her down like everyone else. So she voiced everything herself...
Such a stupid girl. Such a stupid mistake.
I knew her... More than anyone else.
But I couldn't love her as I didn't feel that emotion... or any emotion.
Emma wouldn't let her soul rot away. It wasn't fair. She wouldn't allow it.
So she thought.
And in the end that pain came so suddenly on her... and on us...
