Total Eclipse of the Heart Chakra

Arguing is sweet sorrow

Total Eclipse of the Heart

The veiled darkness in his normally bright eyes triggered her anxiety about their meeting. The thunderstorm brewed behind his steady gaze. Her stomach was sick from the nine month roller coaster of disappointment she had been through. Despite it all she still loved him. She had always brazenly chosen the illusion of love, though she discarded the damsel in distress in favor of badass that takes no prisoners.

Gently he had carved her rough edges, only to find that he had gouged too deep. Her heart overflowed with sorrow as he chose to lead with can’ts. She knew she would always long for his poetic presence. Forever a student she was losing her favorite teacher, whose lessons could melt her heart.

His thunderous voice rang truths. He took back all the beautiful phrases that he ever uttered with lightning flashes of anger. She remained calm as his storm absorbed the passions that she had for him. Her reality no longer existed through him. She could feel his perversions through the last hug as he rubbed his putrid odor all over her. The illusion of comfort shattered. Filled with the negativity she lashed out. The spell was broken.
