A story of loss and love

Roses laying on the ground as she walks down the isle with her silk dress that's pink and white

All she could think about was the smell in the air that made her smile as she ran her hands through her hair

She closed her eyes and opened her arms so wide as though she was going to hug someone there

But alas! It was just her, she and this air.

She threw her head back and looked up to the sky, smiling as she closed her eyes and began to spin as the wind blew on her neck, through her hair

Her silk dress moves like the wind as she began jumping and screaming at the top of her voice,

Breathing and spinning just like air rushing through her lungs.

She continued to spin till she fell to her knees, laughing breathless and her hair, falling down to her face as she looked down where her knees were faced.

She placed her hands on her chest, she felt the race almost like she had just been chased

She looked up to the sky once more, just as her smile began to fade,

And the sun beating down on her face, she looked down at this place and all she felt was the Suns rays, heating up her shoulders and her back space.

She looked down at her knees, while she sat with her legs placed upright to her chest,

she sat on the ground and began to stare at her hands,

It looked like she didn't know where she was, it looked like she didn't know what she was.

She lifted her head and moved began to search around her sight for what might give her something to make her realize she's fine

She couldn't see what was around her, she couldn't see herself inside her so she looked down at her hands and began to cry.

From the silent cries, you could feel her heart beating and her voice screaming but the only feeling she could let in was the silence of her mind and soul screaming.

She tried to beg to be seen, she tried to speak so she could heal, but all she could feel was her heart bleeding and her voice shaking as she wept from the darkest places she had tried to bury in her within,

Her eyes were closed to the garden but her eye was opened to the darkness of everything she would weary

Each tear that would fall on her knees, left a stain that was so clear you would see, down on her dress of silk that was white and pink.

After the scream that made her heal, she opened her eyes and try to clean any tear she left behind.

Sitting down on this grass isle, she took her hands and began to realize she was alive, so she let out a sigh then threw her hands around her,

Wrapping her like the scarf that kept her warm at night while the rain poured down the sides of her window glass,

Feeling the warmth of the night, she looked up again, but in her mind and she started to smile, because once again we have died in our mind and there's no one left in the nigh except you and I

The moment she began to see the stars, she looked right into her mind and she saw a presence waiting for her to listen so they could remind her of the days she would smile,

The second she felt the closeness in her heart, the voice whispered in her mind,

"This is the end"

She then wiped her tears, dusted her silk dress, picked up a rose, got up from herself and left the garden room where she wept.
