Slipped Away

She had a wandering soul swallowed up by darkness. Her skin pale in comparison to the night’s full moon sprinkled with stars and sparkling with a speck of hope left. Memories burned though her mind like smoldering coal. Agonized by visions of her departed love and awakening to feel the frozen pieces of her heart left never to unthaw. She thought of the days lived so empty since he slipped away. So bare and vulnerable lay her deepest emotions exposed and out in the open. Emptiness and pain remain as her heart aches and withers away. The tears in her eyes stream down leaving a trail of mascara stains on her face. No way to recover and mend this bottomless void she feels deep inside. Sorrow remains to wreak havoc and slowly her sanity ceases to exist. Broken dreams and broken plans linger never to be fulfilled. Her heart becomes hollow as the beat echoes inside her chest. All she yearns for now is a peaceful death and to finally be at rest. She lay’s her head down upon her silk pillow scented with the smell of her love that is forever is lost. The scent brings great comfort as reflection of memories frozen in time begins to intertwine in her mind. Her frail fingertips clasp upon her chest as she closes her eyes and takes one last breath. Her spirit released from all pain and despair appear briefly out of thin air and glides toward the heavens above to be reunited with her one true love. Her ashes they lay below the tall willow tree where her initials are carved next to his and their special place that holds the key to the start of never ending love. Throughout the years and all the tears living apart in two different worlds clinging to hope that once again they would be together again. At last the loving souls rejoice from up above filled with hope and love grasping onto one another dancing in the sky.
