Finished
She cried more and more each day, the tearing of her heart making her lose her soul. “I hope she’ll give you a reason to smile every day, that she’ll always know just what to say. I hope she’ll always be as perfect as you used to think I was, that you’ll always be happy just because. I love you more than she ever will, but you love her still. So I’ll fade into the shadows, a broken old widow. My former love, you’ll be dead to me, for it’s the only way I can be sure you’ll live and be happy,” She whispered softly, closing her heart to the world. She cried emotionless, a pain that lingered even though she couldn’t feel it any longer. Why? All for the sake of happiness for her lost lover. She’d hoped to spend all her life in his arms, protected and loved. But she’d ruined it all. She always ruined everything. It was time to stop trying. It was time for the world to fade away, for the pain to die, even though the tears would always linger behind a lifeless face. It was better this way…at least he’d be happy…
