escape

13/3/2007

A gut wrenching feeling came upon her; she knew it was over, that what she had could never be revived. Tried to clean up the mess she was in, for she was tangled in a web of lies, deceit and manipulation.

She was constantly staring at the razor in her hand. Trying to talk herself into instant relief. She started to slash her wrist to get a sense of numbness, and with every cut, her inner mind was convincing her to cut deeper, to escape her devastating reality. She closed her eyes in an attempt to go to the darkest spot in her mind, a place where she'd find peace and tranquility, where she'd never have to face her demons again.

She started to hum a lullaby, one that reminded her of her childhood, back when love was given to her unconditionally. All of a sudden a sense of calmness supervened, as she gradually felt her soul become freer. She knew her hours were numbered and she couldn't help but smile as she reminisced on the good times.
