In the End
It starts with one
Tears stung her eyes as she tried to keep it in. She shakily folded her clothes gently placing them in with the rest of her things… away, sealed up, locked up… away, far away from the place called home… away from him.
.
.
.
Her throat squeezed so painfully and her heart slowly shattered as she saw the picture placed neatly on the drawer. She felt the tears running down her cheeks. A smile formed on her lips. The picture of them together smiling, holding hands…without noticing it her fingers traced the photo.
.
.
.
She jerks her hand back when she came out of her thoughts. She shook her head trying to… wanting to erase all those times she was with him… those lies. She looked at the mirror to see her weak, vulnerable state.
.
.
.
A bitter smile form and a soft harsh laugh escaped her mouth. She an illusionist had fallen for a simple illusion. A simple mind game… she fallen hard and to be break by her own element.
"To be tricked into a simple mind game, it just show how much I fallen."
.
.
.
She slowly worked her way into packing everything into the small black luggage she bought. She didn't need much; after all she is throwing her old self away. No more looking back to her past.
.
.
.
Zipping up her bag, the woman walked to the door turning the brass doorknob. Tears well up in her lone violet eye, but she refused to let them fall. No, not anymore she won't cry for him. She walked out of the house.
.
.
.
Oh how his unique chuckle always refresh her, his mismatched eyes that hold a glint of mischievous, his grin… everything about him she loved… but it was a lie.
.
.
.
He was a cunning man. He was the first person in the world that had given her the warmth, the feelings of what everyone needs. He was the first one to love her.
.
.
.
When she lay there on her death bed, he was the one who gave her a second chance. He gave her a new life, a second chance for something she threw away.
.
.
.
The familiar sensation of her heart squeezing and her throat tightening up made tears form again. She tried to shake off, ignore it… but when a tear slip… she broke down.
.
.
.
Her legs collapsed into the empty sidewalk. Her vision blurred with tears, her throat ached… Even after all that she loved him. She loved the man who betrayed her. She wanted him to accept her.
.
.
.
She couldn't accept this. Her heart didn't, her brain numb… he was a successful puppeteer. She was the puppet and now… without him… she was nothing.
.
.
.
'Stop, Stop crying Chrome! You don't need him!' she yelled inside but the tears won't stop flowing.
.
.
.
She had enough. She won't become the puppet anymore. Her heart won't be open anymore. Slowly getting up, she felt relief wash over.
.
.
.
The tears dried up leaving bloodshot eyed Chrome, but in a good way. She won't be controlled, tricked or broken.
.
.
.
The sun slowly rises from the east erasing all of Chrome's pains as she took a step into her new life.
Since lyrics are not allowed the ... were where the lyrics was. Also to understand this more I suggest to listen to the song 'In The End' by Linkin Parks while reading it ;).
